Anonymous At the beginning of this semester, the pupils of the Burbank Junior High School discovered a wonderful cave within sight of their own school. Most caverns are dark and cold but this one is warm and softly lighted. The acoustics, however, are of such a nature that all who enter are silent, it being impossible to explore when there is the slightest noise in the cave. Once a week, each class, accompanied by a teacher, goes to this cave to search for the unknown treasure. No one can hope to find all the hidden treasure of this cavern in one semester. It would take a life time to ex plore all parts of the grotto. Y hat a rare opportunity this has been for the boys and girls to delve into the mysteries of thousands of underground passages and cham- bers! The guide instructs the class how to begin its search, but she has said that much of the treasure is hidden from her. That while she is willing to tell a.ny pu pil where she found her treasure, she knows that each one must make his own search. The wealth and wisdom of the ages a.re to be found in this honeycombed cavern. The guide said that some of the pupils are like eye less beetles and seemed only to see the sta lactites and stalagmites and were willing to watch the other boys car ry off the treasures. It is impossible for those who do not explore, to understand the ecstasy of the other pu- pils in finding these treasures. Even those who find uhc hidden ti Go-sux e do not always realise the full value of it until long after they have left the cave . But once they discover the spring and drink of its water the secret is theirs forever. ’ The treasuie is something they cannot lose) some- thing they can never forget; something they can carry with them every day of their lives; something the older they grow the more they will enjoy. One boy who found a bit of radium held it over the doorway and the other pupils read this inscription: THIS CAVE IS THE WEST BERKELEY BRANCH LIBRARY AND THE BURIED iREaSuRE Io THE JOY OF READING GOOD BOCKS.

Webber O ' ' z Qb n v rc Ao ' e) V rn y A TRIBUTE TO LUTHER BURBANK r ‘V , ' . v - c ' cS mf • 0 ■ ,-, l M. «•! j Luther Bur hank, he who loved everybody, lies, peace fully sleeping on his lone couch under the old shannon tpfa cedar. Under the tree which he brought to proud fruit- ri ' y at ion, he sleeps the eternal sleep of death. Ho was laid to rest just as the mellowing rays of the declining sun shot its golden beams through the Lebannon’s stately -Oy branches. The sun in its retreat smiled a blessing upon the little mound under the old tree. r I Though death, the consoler, has laid its hand upon Luther Burbank s heart ho will live in our memory for- V jyover. He has come as a meteor that has whirled its way ) from its void into the small garden of this universe to tarry awhile, nursed by the wind, the sunshine, and the cO-j rain. Should nature, his recognised God, will it so, the brilliant spark of his spirit shall live forever in ' the sweet fragrance of his flowers. It is impossible to estimate the wonderful wealth he has so generously showered upon humanity. Many of his plants have been of the greatest commercial value. Mr. Burbank would have been one of the richest men in the world if he had sought monopoly. But ho found more joy in giving than accepting, a joy that money can never bring. In reviewing his service to mankind, we recall the words written by Jonathan Swift, more than two centuries ago. Swift gave it as his opinion that whoever could moke two ears of corn grow upon a spot where only one grow before, would deserve better of mankind and do more essential service to his country that the whole race of politicians put together. Luther Burbank has accom- plished the seemingly impossible in life, among the cre- ations of Nature. Burbank was a personal friend and benefactor of our school; he was one of our most beloved of friends and pa- trons. The photograph which he so kindly presented us will retain a place of honor among our treasures forever. His encouraging words and best wishes still echo in our ears, and wo boar his name as proudly as our banner does, and love it. The pupils of Burbank throughout their lives will always cherish the gentle spirit that gave so freely and gladly to his fellow-men. They will strive to live up to his high ideals and teachings.

We come to school to study and to learn. Wo do not come to sit in our seats comfortably and dream. One can look around the room sometimes and see a child with his eyes on the teacher out he is thinking of something else, or drifting to something he has seen that day. If pu- pils would pay attention, there would not be so many of them fail to be promoted at the end of the term.

Watching the sky the other morning from a hill-tcp, I saw the passing of great banks of clouds. They waved slowly and heavily, and as far as I could see there was nothing but darkness. It did not seem possible that behind all of this inky-black- ness there was clear blue and the golden sunshine. As I looked and wondered about this, suddenly a gust of wind tore a large hole right in the midst of the dark clouds and a patch of blue appeared, and a few rays of sunshine sifted through. It was only for a few seconds, but it was there ! It reminded me of events in life. Dark clouds of misunderstanding and mistakes cover the bright sunshine of happiness, and our mental day is dark and gloomy. Suddenly things shape themselves and are clear again; mistakes are corrected and a wind of good feelings blows these clouds away. Once more like the heavens above, our day is bright and gay. Howard C. Lee KS CALIFORNIA POPPIES The most attractive , and one of the most beautiful wild flowers of California, is the California poppy. This is California’s state flower. It can be found very easily as it has a glorious golden-orange color, which can be seen far away. It grows in all parts of the state. The poppy loves the sunlight, and os soon as the sun is not shining on her. She closes her petals. This poppy grows very abundantly and fields of it are called carpets of gold. The matili ja poppy is the sister of the California poppy, though it does not resemble it in any way. it is very tall. Sometimes it grows to nine or ten feet, and it has long, beautiful, white petals which spread out as far as nine inches, while in the center is a large, flossy, yellow ball. The California poppy blooms in ear ly spring whilo its sister the matilija poppy does not bloom until late in the spring or in early summer. These poppies remain open several days, swaying to the time of the wind, and attracting the attention of many visitors . Martha Carlson K7 THE FIRST LESSON x It was the first day that the sun had shone since Christmas. The children of the neighborhood were out playing with their new toys, while you sat on the gutter with your new bicycle beside you. You wanted some friend to help you learn to ride it. I wish Stephen would hurry,” you murmured to your- self . At last your friend arrived. He knew all about bi- cycles. He got you properly seated. Now, don’t worry. You won’t fall because I am go- ing to balance you, he replied as he began to push you along the gutter. After going about fifty yards you cried in a trem- bling voice, Don’t let mo fall l” You hoard no reply. You repeated in a more steady tone, Don’t let mo fall’ Again no reply was hoard. Then just as you reached the corner you hoard a yoll from Stephen half a block away saying: Keep on going around the block. You did so. Ton minutes later you saw Stephen waiting for you at the place where you had started. I can’t stop, you shouted as you neared him. Just stop pumping and make your feet go the other way, he replied. You did so and stopped with a jerk all out of breath .

He snowed me a group of mountains. One in particular he pointed out. he told me a little a- bout the mountains and I began to think. I studied the hill more and more. I noticed that it was very steep. It looked as if it were straight up. The ranger had tola me that there was a nidden treasure on top of it. many men had tried to cliniu it, cut had failed. An iuca came into my mine . I thought I should like to go up in an airplane and hang from a rope ladder and then leap down to the top of the mountain. Perhaps, some day I shall be courageous enough to do this. Roy I.Ioscr L9 JOHN’S BIG MISTAKE Ford touring car that took good care of his had . John Dugan had a touring car that d a job at a large mill. He owned a hat was tainted black. John always his ear , for it was the best thing he One morning he parked his car on Roosevelt Street instead of Washington Avenue as he was in the habit of doing. When he came out from work, he went absent-minded on Washington Avenue and got into a black touring car. John thought it was his car, of course, for it was painted black and it was the same model. When he tried to start the car, a man came running to him. This man was rough-looking and said in a loud manner, u What are you trying to do with my car?” John said, I beg your pardon, I thought this was mine.” ' The man’s rudeness disappeared and he laughed heartily at John. One morning very early when I was going out of the front door there was a cat on the steps at the door, cry- ing as if it were hungry. It was grey and white. I took it into the house and gave it something to eat, but that was the thing I shouldn’t have done, for we could never got rid of it afterwards. It stayed at our house for many days. One day I took it and went far away from our house, so far that it could not find its way back, as I sup- posed. I then let it go. When I came home I told my mother it would surely stay away The next morning when I started to school the same cat was on the steps. I didn’t see how it could have found its way back. I let it come in again and I told my mother that we would have to keep it, for we could never get rid of it, except by killing it, and we didn’t want to do that. Of course, we kept it. Ewald Mork L9 Ailie Stono H8 One day I was out hording the cattle. Just as it was time to drive the cattle home, the horse I was riding began to prance around and it was with difficulty that I could check him. At last one of the cows ran in the brush and when I started after it the horse whirled around, ran right through the center of the herd, and made for home as fast as he could go. I tried my best to stop him but it was no use, he was going home and that on as besu as was all there was to it. I tried to hang I could, ' then we got up close to the barn, I saw that the horse was going right through the barn door which was open. As the door was rather low I saw that I would be knocked off. I jumped and landed on the ground, sprain- ing my ankle, but I was glad that I had broken no bones. That was the fastest ride I had ever had. Laurence II on km an H7 THE SCHOOL Iff II OTHER ATTENDED lay mother went to school in a little one room school house. The building was made of adobe or sun- dried brick and was small and inconvenient. There were windows on all sides and the walls were lined with the large clumsy benches. The teacher’s desk was at one side of the room. The stove, large, black, and smoky, was in the center of the room. A blackboard stretched across the room in front, with maps and charts on the sides which greatly interested the pupils. The small struggling community was only able to pay a small sum for their teachers therefore one teacher had to teach three or four grades all of their subjects. In those days there were many things they did not have but they did have olenty of room to play. They had a large yard surrounded by a picket fence. This yard was cool and s h a d y , T-i n T !

It is a lovely soft color that I never remember having noticed anywhere else. There is something very friendly about soft rolling hills and they make such a wonderful background for homes, -bich nestle along their slopes. There is always a lovely view to be seen. No one ever having lived near the hills can be satisfied with flat country. toward Lee K8 AN EXCITING KOKENT One day, as I was taking a stroll along a crowded business section, I noticed a crowd gathering at a cor- ner. Being eager for excitement, I hurried along. As I was altogether too short to see anything above the heads of the people, I tried to make my way nearer. After a whole quarter of .an hour’s jostling back and forth, I was up in front, only to see that a large, portl TT man had stepped in front of me. I could not make him. understand that there were others behind him who . wanted to see. Finally he moved and. inch so that I could distinqish a queer looking individual and what do you think he wars doing? Advertising corn plasters! I hur- riedly left the place homing devoutly no one had seen me. Regina Railo H9 MY .Ljj ■vFERIENCE JITM a horse One summer day in Sacramento, my u ncle came from the hayfield. He left his horse and wagon outside of the shed. My cousin and I, who were playing near by, saw the horse, so we thought we would go and play in the wagon. The horse r s name was Dobbin, but we thought it was Gidap - Decause we always heard my uncle say that. Af- ter we had climbed into the wagon, we said to the horse, “Nice Gidap, u and the horse began to run. We kept re- peating, u Gidap u until Dobbin was racing around the field. My uncle came and ‘stopped him before we were hur t . Sirkka Niemi H7 JERRY Jerry is a little black Persian kitten. His fur is very long and black. He has very bright eyes and sees everything. Jerry is very playful but a bit too rough. One day as he was playing in the yard, two dogs came up to him, but he looked at them and kept them away until someone came to help him. Jerry is always into something, always exploring. One day I heard him crying. I opened the door of a lit- tle pantry, whore wo keep papers and cut jumped Jerry. Ho probably wondered what was in there and got shut in while investigating. Ida May Guy L9 MY NEIGHBOR’S CAT AND DOG One day as I was walking down the street I saw a dog and a cat eating out of the same bowl. They looked like two good friends to me. But in a little while they started to growl and the cat to spit. Then the fight be- gan. The dog yowled and snapped, the cat jumped and scratched the dog. The cat was the best fighter. The dog ran home and I never saw that dog again. John Silva L7 One day last summer I went to Oak Grove for a day ' s outing. My mother and father stayed on a hill out I went to play in the water. After I had played for a while I wanted to go to my parents. I started up the hill and as I was getting near them I saw what I thought was a man ' s necktie lying in my path. It was yellow and black with stripes. Just as I was about to pick it up it began to move. I sprang back with a shriek of horror, for it was a snake. I ran as fast as I could down the hill and told my sister and the other children about it. I was so frightened that I took another path up the hill. It was a hot day in July. Tom and Ned and some other boys had decided to go swim ming. Their homes were very near to the Russian River. They were walking along when all of a sudden a rattle was heard. Run, cried Tom, and they ran as fast as they could. They were all panting soon, for it was a hot day; and the snake was not far behind. A low growl was heard, and Tom ' s dog, Wolf, sprang out of the bushes. Hairs bristling, Wolf stood ready to fight. The snake stopped, coiled, and sprang at Wolf. Wolf leaped quickly out of the way. Then Wolf ran up to the snake, picked him up in the air, and tossed him several feet. Then the snake coiled himself around Wolf and was just going to bite him, when, with a loud shout Tom picked up a club, and running upon the two enemies, hit the snake with all his might. He killed it instantly. The boys then took Wolf to the river, and bathed him in cool water. Tom cut off the rattles of the snake, and hung them around Wolf ' s neck, as a reward for his bravery . Helmi Siren K7 v THE FIGHT Alfred E. Soderborg HS THE DR Mi GARDEN In a far off land, a little way from s mountain range, was a beautiful garden. There were beautiful fra- grant flowers, tall old trees, and many little paths winding in and out. If any one walked through the gar- den he would have beautiful and fanciful dreams. If one looked right hard one could see fairy heads, pushing out of the flowers. There was, in the garden, by the steps, a large solid rectangular block of stone. On this stone was a golden vase. It was said that if one wrote his wish on a piece of paper, tore it into small pieces and threw them in the air and one fell in the vase, the wish would come true. Many years passed and many dreamed in the dream garden, and perhaps they came true . Ida May Guy L9 THE GIFT COMPENSATION The grim black walls of Castle Toulard seemed very uncompromising on this bleak windy day. All around, a sort of shadow was cast. It seemed as if the castle and its grounds were forbidden territory. Lord Toulard, grieving for his lost son, lived a- lone with one servant. As he sat musing in front of the now dying embers of the fire, a picture came to his mind. He saw his manly son in a uniform going to war. Lord Toulard made up his mind to stop grieving, for it was in a good cause that he had sent his son to fight for his country. So thinking, he quietly passed sway with the dying embers casting a glow on his face. Rose Cowan H9 MY DREAM I have dreamed of everything in the world. But there is only one lasting dream in my mind. One night I dreamed I saw a most beautiful picture which I had. painted. All my thoughts are on this pic- ture of ray dream which I hope to paint some day. A dream is only a thought, but sometimes dreams come true. I hope that dream of mine may come true.

Meanwhile I shut the door, and proceeded to do an awkward shuffle backwards toward my room, a step that never would have been popular at a dancing school. I did not realise that I was in the path of the scrub buck- et . I made my usual excuses with each backward step, and did well because of long practice. I knew they would be accepted and they were. “I’ll forget it this time, replied mother. “Please let there be no next time. You had better change your clothes, as you are going to your aunt ' s and dinner is at six there, you know. 11 “All right, I ' ll do .� I never finished my sentence. There was a bang, a splash, an overturned bucket, and a puddle of water on the kitchen floor. I had oacked into the scrub bucket and received a wet welcome . I lay scrawlinrr on the floor Then I let forth a howl that brought out the curious a- rnong the neighbors. Henry Oltmann K9 FOLLOWING A RAINBOW Although John and Joseph were only at the age of six, they thought they could follow a rainbow One day after it rained, and the rainbow seemed to be from one end of the sky to the other, John and Joseph set off. First they prepared a lunch and took some blan- kets, as they knew the journey would be long. It was nine o ' clock in the morning when they began their walk. The rainbow was still in the sky, though the sun was out. The boys walked for about five miles. They were very far away from home. As they were walking along, the rainbow sank out of sight and they had to walk all the way back home. Orville Connors H8 MT ADVENTURE When I was in Healdsburg I loved to have adven- tures. One day it was very hot so mother said, Let ' s go to the Russian River for a swim. 1 So we got into a buggy and started. When we arrived I was the first one of the crowd to go to the water. The Russian River has many whirlpools and I got caught in one. I tried to get hold of a. rock. At last I managed to do so but the rock was slimy and narrow. In a little while I felt the rock wriggle in my hands. I pulled it out and guess what it was? Well it was a water snake. I lot it go and I was the first swimmer out. Helen Wilkin an H7 DUCK HUNTING One day I went out in a boat with my gun. My gun is a twenty- two. I saw some ducks out in the water. I rowed out after them. When I got near enough to shoot, I put a shell in the gun and shot. I shot .again and I killed two ducks in two shots. I saw some ducks over by a blind. I rowed over there and shot. I hit one but he did not move. Not one of the ducks - flew away. I went on shooting. Then I rowed up to them and looked at them. They were made of wood. They were to attract the ducks. Mi land Lindstrom K7 NIGHTMARE One night I had a nightmare. A nightmare is almost like a dream, except one seems more wide awake and can even walk around, but still he keeps seeing things that are not really happening In this nightmare, I saw my- self in the barn, running around the hay piles, trying to get away from the bears. “Oh, Auntie, the bears are going to catch me, ' 1 I called, but received no answer. Then I saw about six more bears. “Auntie,” I called again more loudly. I jumped in- to bed and put the pillows over my face to shut out the scene, but it was of no use. There I saw those bears right at my feet again. “Edith,” called Auntie at last, what are you cry- ing about?” “On, the bearsi I cried between sobs. “Wfpr, there aren t t any bears. You must have been droamins . I knew I was not dreaming because they seemed so real and any way I saw with my own eyes that the bears were running after me. “Go to sleep, Edith, that is all nonsense, said Auntie . Then I insisted I could not sleep in my own room all alone. All right, come along then. Auntie took mo to her bed and before I knew it I was asleep. Edith Hart H9 HARD LUCK One Saturday Jim, my boy friend, whistled for me. When I answered his call, ho told me that he was going fishing, and wanted to know if 1 wanted to go with him. I am sorry, Jim, but I have to nelp my mother plant some flowers, before the spring. “Aw, it’s too nice a day to hoo and dig, tl replied Jim . He went to the door and rang tne bell. My mother answered tne bell. firs. Brown, the teacher, wishes to speak to Tom.” ' I pretended to be angry. I ran around the nouse like a wild Indian to make my mother believe that I didn’t want to go. U I insist on your going, 11 said my mother All right, hut 1 don t want to,” I replied. Hy mother went out in the garden to work alone. The teacher passed by and began to talk to her. Where is Ton?” asked the teacher. Why didn’t you send for him?” replied my mother. Why, no,” answered the teacher. I.iv mother then ex plained the situation to her. W u en I got home that night my mother was waiting for me. After that experience I never wanted to play any more tricks on her. Guido Citragno H7 Cr-J YOU DISCOVER A HEVv GAME six years old yard . the vour said , house. Go out into ”Ei 11 , ” she One time when vou were about •j mother sent you out into the ”you are only bothering me in the yard and play. ” So you went out and were toying a- round with everything you saw. Suddenly you thought of a great scheme. Your moth- er had about fifty baby chicks. You thought you would play grave yard” with them. You went into the house and got a number of match boxes. Then you went out into the yard and dug a number of holes in the ground. After quite a bit- of running around you caught all the chicks and had them buried in the ground. To make matters worse you didn 1 t mark where you put them and when your mother discovered that the little chicks were missing and you were made to look for them, you could not find them all; at least they could not be found quickly e- nough to save them from death. Your punishment was a whipping and the rest of the dav vou spent in bed. William Baxter H9 AT THE PET SHOW When I was a little girl of about four years, I was very fond of animals. I had at least two dogs around the house always . One day my mother took me to a pet show. I became very much interested in a large collie dog which was very vicious. My eye caught the muzzle which he had on and I wanted to take it off. Leaving my mother, I walked over to him. As I put up my hand to take it off, the dog growled . ’’Don’t be afraid, doggie,” I said to him. But the dog did not understand. Just then my moth- er came back for me and took me away from the angry dog. What were you doing to him? she asked. I wanted to take the wire off his nose, but he did not like me, I said. You’re lucky, you didn ' t get too close to him. After this incident, my mother took me to see the other animals, but kept a close watch upon me. Irene Wilson H9 One day in spring I thought I would go strolling in the woods. As I was walking along I saw two birds near a half-built nest. I stood there silently and watched them as I did not want to disturb them. One of the birds flew down and got some string from the ground. This bird brought it up to the other bird. He kept doing this until they had the nest almost built. One day I went again to watch the nest. What was my surprise to see three little birds in the nest with their mouths wide open for food I ran home and got a pick and shovel and dug some worms for the li ttle birds . They seemed to say, Thank you! Thank you! After that I went every day until one day I found the birds flying around ready to go south. Julius Gorans on K7 LUCK Some people think that luck’s a mere chance, But you wont get luck by a light song or dance. You must put the best you have into your work. From e’en a small duty you must never shirk. If you pay for your luck the highest you can, Then you’ll have as good luck as any true man. Helen Gardner H8 THE SUNBEAMS ’’Goodnight, goodnight, the sunbeams say; They’ve danced across the floor; They’ve danced so brightly all the day, They’ll dance and dance no more. The fading gleams that once were day Have darkened into night; They’ve lost their golden color ray, And all their lovely light. Edna Strubel L9 THE MERRY BROOKLET It passed through many a meadow and lea, This merry little brooklet stream. Thinking ever of the glorious sea; To reach it was its one true dream. So the brooklet went scampering along, All of the while murmuring a song. Because somehow it happened to know That there were not many miles more to go. Martha Carlson R7 SPRING The little birds fly over, Oh, how sweet they sing! To tell the happy children That once again ’ tis sx jr i- i:i o« The bright green grass comes creeping, So soft beneath their feet; The frogs begin to croak In their green and shiny cloak. The buttercups are coming, Then scarlet columbine, But in the sunny meadows The dandelions do shine.

What joyous sounds fall on my ear. I listen to the joyous noises And watch the butterfly that poises On the flower by the way. The busy bees are humming, The humming birds are thrumming, As they look into the hearts of flowers They take the gold for their brides’ dowers That sit or play at home. Happy spring is here! Spring is here! What joyous sounds fall on my ear I look at the birds and flowers And think of the mighty powers Of God above. Vivian McCollom L9 Latona raised her hands to heaven, And said unto Jove, the god: May the}- dwell their lives forever, In the pond which they have trod! And now they are still dwellers In this little pond of mud; Though they often come out of the waters, They jump right back with a thud. Their necks are large and their bodies are small, .nd their voices are croaking and harsh, at dusk, their echoing call Is still heard from the ponds or the marsh. Arachne was a clever maid, But for her skill she ruefully paid. With a goddess she dared to try this skill, But she met her fate and is working there still. v hen the day for the contest came She wove the gods at their play and game. Minerva then to hor work did bind her And changed her into a crawling spider. Frank Marshall H9 Charlotte Homewood R9 10 Brushing by a cloud, with heavy brow, Juno found Jupiter hiding a cow. Suspicion arising, she begged it of him, • And this he gave to suit her whim. Thousand-eyed Argus, a giant clever, Tended for Juno the lovely heifer. Inachus a visit to Jupiter made, Pleading for the mighty god’s aid. Mercury went when the shadows were creeping, To Argus, and soon the giant was sleepin Then with the syrinx which he played with gle He set poor Io, the heifer, free. The handsome Orion, beloved of all, Cast under spell of Meropo tall; Like the swaying reeds that lace the shore, She was lovelier that mortals far more. Her father cast Orion blinded away; But an oracle bade him tra.ce the sun’s ray; The sun restored Orion’s shattered sight And saved him from the dreaded night. He joined Diana’s merry chase And followed in many a. sprightly race. But Diana for a mortal was not destined And the Fates to her love proved unkind. While Diana lingered near the shore Apollo Allowed his treachery to soar. In the rolling waves of blue and green He pointed out an object plainly seen. Diana let her arrow fly. ' Twas Orion; so she placed him high in the sky. Evelyn Shelby H9 © cn THE OPERETTA ALL AT SEA Friday evening, May 14, the members of the High 9 classes presented the operetta, All At Sea” by Harvey Worthington Loomis. This is a medley of major scenes and choruses from the Gilbert and Sullivan operas: ’Hi. M. 3. Pinafore ; The Pirates of Penzance ; The Mikado ; and Iolanthe . The storjr centers about the fact that Pinafore has set out to capture the pirates of Penzance. Cap- tain Corcoran and his daughter, Josephine, have a large party of guests ' aboard the Pinafore , including the Lord Chancellor Patience, Phyllis ' , Mabel, Strephon, Grosvenor, and the Fairy Queen, and her attendants. The most important guest of all is the Mikado of Japan who is studying the manners and customs of Europeans. The tables arc turned when the pirates suddenly swoop down on the Pinafore and the Captain and all aboard find themselves in the hands of the enemy. The Captain, Chan- cellor, and Sir Joseph Porter meet to devise a means of escape. The Lord Chancellor issues an injunction by which they arc to become free. Their plans fail, and when the Mikado is summoned, he offers the services of his Lord High Executioner, but Koko, the Lord High Ex- ecutioner, declines the offer. All are again in despair until the Captain remembers the Fairy Queen. Many hu- morous situations arise and it left to the Fairy Queen to solve the difficulties to the satisfaction of everybody . The gorgeous costumes for the operetta were designed under the direction of Miss Mabel Webber, the art teach- er, and made by the household art classes under the sup- ervision of Hiss Katharine Fisk. The most striking costumes were the Mikado’s robe of he O T r TT CA yj V black satin trimmed in yellow, orange, and green flowers, the Lord High Executioner’s kimono of grayish-black silk, the blue, lavender and yellow kimonos for the three little maids from scnool, the milkmaid’s plain black dress with a rose-colored apron, and the fairy queen’s lavender and green robe with a swooping train. The operetta was orchestrated by Mr. Victor Schott. The school orchestra under his direction practiced for several weeks. The arrangment was so well written and rendered that it contributed a great deal to the success of the operetta. The scenery was designed by the art department, and built with the co-operation of the industrial art de- partment under the direction of Mr. Earl Williams and Mr. John Frick. The curtain rose on a scene disclosing the deck of the Pinafore” with the blue sea beyond. The entire student body had an opportunity to famil- iarize themselves with the operas named. The libretto was in charge of Mrs. Franklin Bagnall assisted by Mis a Dora Martin. 300 children participated in the produc- tion under the leadership of Miss Adele Gilb t. .

The lineup was Evelyn Schmidt (Captain), Evelyn Shelby, Pauline Trefz, Ella Loven, Florentine Turpin, Constance Kirby, Rita Crosa, Amelia Krebs, Annie Saari , Rose Gonsalves. Following the inter-class games the inter-school games were organized. The unlimited team lost every game it played. Its hardest game was with Willard and the team came close winning it. The 115 pound team lost two games and Won one. They lost the game with Edison, the score being 34 to 5. They lost to Garfield, 13 to 21, and they won the game with Willard witn a score of S3 to 8.

The annual track meet was held at the California Oval, Friday, May 7. The full team ; composed of seventy- five girls, was present. Of the 88-Jf points made by Bur- bunk, sixty-tv o were made by the girls. This score gave the girls third place.

II ii 3rd BOYS’ ATHLETICS The Burbank basketball teams started their season very poorly. The unlimited team was the only one that made a showing. It won its first game against Edison. The other two games played were lost by a score of 11 to 14. The reason the other two games were lost was be- cause most of the players were stage-struck. The line- ups for the unlimited was as follows: Carroll Copeland, Harold Nelson (Captain), William Bax- ter, Frank Farber, Allan Green. The substitutes were Roy Sabine, and Mike Indelicato. The Burbank baseball team started the season very poorly, losing the first two games. Nevertheless, they kept up hope and won the last four games, and came in second in the standing of the schools. Edison school won the championship by winning five games out of six. Edison lost its only game to Burbank. Frank Peacock pitched for our first victory. He allowed but three hits, and struck out two men, and caught a grounder that would have been hard for any one to get, and threw the man out at first. Viramontos, who is captain of the team, pitched the second victory for Burbank, Although it was against an easy team, ho pitched good ball. He never allowed a hit up until the seventh inning, in which there was but one hit. He struck out sixteen men and walked two. If it had not been for the good suport of the team Burbank would not have taken second place. Our left fielder, Joseph Bornardou, was playing like a leaquer — not a ball passed by him. The rest of the team played good baseball. August Galan played wonderful ball at shortstop. The lineup was Arnold Viramontes, catcher; Joseph Bornardou, left fielder; Frank Farber, third base; Harold Nelson, second base; Thursten Anderson, center field; Roy Sabine, first base; August Galan, shortstop; Frank Peacock, pitcher; and William Baxter, center field.

The concerto which they played was composed by Saint-Saens. It was played in G Minor. Miss Magona also played a composition of her own, written in D Minor. The students enjoyed the entertainment, and would be glad to have them come back and play again for them, Verne r Lindner H7 LINCOLN DAY PROGRAM On February 11, Mr. Charles Fox of the American Legion Post No. 7 and former assemblyman, from this dis- trict, addressed the student body on the Life of Abra- ham Lincoln. He told how Abraham Lincoln was the soul of democracy, that he sprang from the masses. He be- lieved in freedom and equality, government of the peo- ple, for the people and by the people. He told of the circumstances under which the Gettsburg Address was written . After this principal address Comrade Rumsey ’who had served under Lincoln for three years, gave some personal reminiscences of the Civil War. He said that the Civil War army had the greatest number of volunteer soldiers in the world. Most of these soldiers where less than twenty-one years old. Only about 115,000 of the old vet- erans are still living. Enos Dondo H8 HOME TALENT The student body meeting February 18, was a particu- larly interesting one in that our own pupils presented the entire program. Lorena Kirby entertained us aga.in with her birdlike whistling. She never fails to win applause. Eddie Brignolo positively startled us with his clever accordion playing. It was with difficulty that the students refrained from shuffling their feet. May we have more informal programs. 1 Anita Elss L9 REV. HUMMELS f TALK On February 25, 1926, Rev.

Following a chorus by the school “Welcome Sweet Spring Time”, John Valencia recited “The Way to Live. 1 ' Fred Foster next gave a reading entitled “Luther Burbank’s Message.” This was followed by a speech, “The Advancement of Our School” by Clarence Lehtonen. The feature of the program was a very interesting lecture ac- companied with lantern slides by Professor E. Fritz of the Forestry Department of the University of California. His subject was “Forest Conservation.” Prof. Fritz showed how our redwood and pine forests have been deplet- ed through fire destruction, wasteful methods in lumber- ing and by tree diseases. He explained the work of re- forestation now going on. He showed pictures of the nurseries in Ft. Bragg, Mendocino County, where millions of seedlings of redwoods and pines are being started and from which young trees will bo transplanted to barren slopes to make the forests for our posterity. It re- quires at least fifty years for those planted trees to become large enough to cut and then only arc they worth cutting if they have been made to grow in ' close forest style where the shade has produced long unbranching trunks until a great height has been reached. L8 Class THE LOYAL CAMERA CLUB The Camera Club is composed of Science oupils who are particularly interested in photography. Under the direction of Mr. McDermont they study the mechanism of the camera and the technique of photography. It is a very loyal school club, anxious to do all it can to further school activities. For the last six terms it has furnished a cut for the Wizard. Sometimes the cut is simply a picture of some particularly beauti- ful Berkeley spot. Generally, however , it depicts dif- ferent student activities. At the beginning of the term the club decides what type of a picture it will furnish. After various pictures are taken the films are developed, a few prints of each are made and submitted to the Wiz- ard staff for choice. When the staff has made its selec- tion a cut is made at the expense of the Club. Eliada Iversen H9 THE SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA The San Francisco Symphony Orchestra played in the Greek Theater in Berkeley on March 24 1926. Mr. Alfred Hertz is the conductor. There were six different num- bers on the program, but the one that seemed to be noted the most was the Danse Macabre by Saint Saens. The program began at 2:30 and lasted about an hour. The heat being very extreme made the children rest- less. The music was fine but it would have been better appreciated if the children had not been so restless. The place where Burbank School was seated holds four hundred twenty-five people but Burbank pupils and teach- ers filled only about one hundred seventy-five of the seats . Alma Dahlberg H9 SOME INTERESTING FEATURES OF THE SCIENCE COURSE This term Miss Cameron ' s classes in science have been particularly interested in the study of weather forecasting and each dav received from the San Francisco weather bureau a daily weather map. Most of the pupils have kept accurate daily records of the weather. The puuils of Mr. McDermont’s science classes are working on a relief map of the Mokelume water project. The map will not be finished, however, until next year. The pupils in several of the science classes have been collecting specimens of California wild flowers and have displayed them in the science museum. At the annual flower show, which will be held at the College Women’s Club April 13 and 14, Berkeley wild flowers which have been co?.iectea by Bur Dank Junior High School pupils will be on display. Next year the science department expects to have the apparatus equipment for a course in mechanics. This course will include a study of such machines as the le- ver, the pulley, the inclined plane, the pendulum, etc. Pupils in the Burbank School enjoy the science courses because they are so interesting. Hal Goodyear L8 THE NECKTIE CAMPAIGN Several weeks ago the K7 class decided that the boys would make a better appearance if they wore neck- ties. A committee was appointed whose duty was to in- spect the boys each morning and if any one appeared with- out a tie the committee v ould furnish a tie from the sup- ply which it had on hand. The campaign has been successful and the appearance of the boys is 100% better. Vincent La Rocca H7 THE GIRLS’ JINKS The girls of the Burbank Junior High School held their semi-annual jinks Thursday, April ninth. The pres- ident of the association, Lorena Kirby, and the secreta- ry, Ella Loven, were in charge. The program opened with a middy roll call answered by the class representatives. After the roll call a spring dance was given by Mrs. Han- sen’s dancing class. The dance was followed by original yells and songs given by the classes. The H8 class had the best song , and the L8 U ’, the best yell. Miss Bertha Clymer, president of the Berkeley High School Girls’ Association and Marian ToDin, president of the Girls Athletic Association tolo of the achievements ideals, and work of their associations. Mrs. Eva Stone the advioor of girls at high, told of the hearty welcome awaiting the girls upon their arrival at high school. Stars 1 or achievement in basket-ball were awarded by Miss Morse, girls’ athletic instructor. The jinks closed with a dance. BOYS’ JINKS The program for the boys’ s jinks consisted of an in- teresting basket-ball game. The High 9 team challenged the Picked Team of the School. The players in the High 9 ’ s were : Baxter, Barber, Marshall, Copeland and Allen. The players in the picked team were: Jones, Nelson, Sa- bino, Indclicato, and Green. The points made by the High 9 team were: Baxter, throe, Barber, two, Copeland, four. The points made by the picked team were: Jones, two; Nelson, eight; Sabine, four. The final score was fourteen to nine in favor of the picked team. Mervin Connors — Herbert Green AN EXCITING MOVIE COMEDY Thursday afternoon March 25 at 3.15 the Burbank Par- ent-Teachers Association presented in the school auditor- ium an eight reel picture of Johnny Hines in the Speed Spook. Pupils and parents were admitted for ten cents each. It surely was an exciting movie period. Johnny Hines had all sorts of narrow escapes. He ran through houses and fences. The Parent-Teachers Association took in §25.40 at the door. We pupils hope the association will give an- other picture soon. Donald Wardle L7 AN HONOR STUDENT To be an honor student one must have all ones on his report card except for two twos. Ho must be a good citizen, trustworthy, honest, prompt, and reliable. An honor student must attend school regularly and must always have his lessons well prepared. Ho must obey the principal, the teachers and the school laws. If he breaks the laws of the school he must take his punish- ment as directed by the student body. Anyone can be an honor student if ho tries. Since the honor students arc not selected until the last week of the term it is impossible to publish in this edition of the Wizard the honor roll for this semester. The honor students of the fall term 1925 were the following: In the H9 ’ class, Salma Kcski, Vara Guy, Doretta Ear bar th, Dorothy Johnson, Marie Kinney, Adele Rengel. In the E9 class, Guam Mai She.

By John Tucker L8 TYPEWRITING HONORS Each month the students in the typewriting classes try for the awards which are given by the typewriter companies. The typewriting room is equipped with Wood- stocks, Underwoods and one Remington. A L . C. Smith ma chine was lent so that tests might be given in order that the class might compete for Smith awards. An award is won if the student writes on the machine of the com- pany which furnishes the copy and makes the required number of words a minute and does not exceed the number of errors allowed. The average rate per minute is based on the average of the net words after the penalty has been deducted. The students who have received awards this term are: Remington certificate for thirty words: Pauline Trefz, Eliada Iversen, Evelyn Shelby, Evelyn Schmidt. L. G. Smith bronze pin for forty words: Rita Crosa, Amelia Krebs. Underwood certificate for thirty words: Rita Crosa, Angelina Giordano, Dagmar Loebs, Eliada Iversen.

THE SUCCESS OF AN ALMNUS We were all pleased to hear of the success of Rich- ard Ehlers, one of our alumnus. Richard became interest ed in dramatics at the University of California and ap- peared in leading roles in several of the college plays. After his graduation from the university he went back East where he had the leading role in many plays . When he returned to California he was given a place with the Henry Duffy Players. He was a great success as Bertie Lennox, the pampered son of a rich lawyer, in Best People. Many of our classmates were fortunate e- nough to see it. After a tour of California the cast sailed for Aus- tralia, April the sixth where they will again feature Best People. Richard carries with him our best wishes for a continuation of his success. Evelyn Shelby H9 SAFETY-FIRST On Thursday, January 21, Mrs. Woodworth talked to the Burbank student body. Her subject was Safety-First. She told about traffic cops who conducted children a- cross the streets in safety. In Los Angeles, tunnels have been built under the streets near the schools where there is heavy traffic. Then she discussed the human body. She compared the human body with an automobile. The steering wheel is the brain; the wheels are the hands and legs, and the wires are the nerves. No mechanical machine has been made as well as our own machine. If we eat good food, take plenty of exorcise, and live out-of-doors as much as possible we will have the best machine in the world. FT we had an old automobile, and it didn’t run well, we could buy a new one. But we only have one human machine. If we injure it, we will have to pay the penalty. Emil Soderberg KB A FAREWELL LUNCHEON May 28, the faculty gave a luncheon in honor of four of its coworkers. Miss Alice Burton, who has been supervisor of the cadet health nurses of this district, expects to enter upon her work as supervisor of an indus- trial plant shortly. Miss Mabel Webber, who has been in charge of the art department of Burbank for four years, has taken a leave of absence for the purpose of study at the California School of Arts and Crafts. Miss Elizabeth McMechin, who has been our health visitor for three years, has finished her demonstration work, and is leaving in June for her home in Denver. Miss Mary Cameron, our science teacher, will go East to attend the meetings of the National Education Association.

SNOiV ' S ARCTIC PICTURE On April 22 , a motion picture was shown in the Bur- bank auditorium, entitled, Hunting Came with Gun and Camera in the Arctic. The picture was taken by the Syd- ney Snow Jr. Arctic expedition, and was shown here for two reasons: That the students might have an opportun- ity to see. the different kinds of wild life in the froz- en ncrthlands; that the student body might raise some money to be used a.s part payment on the new flag, which we now have in our auditorium. The picture was greatly enjoyed by all who � aw it. Many interesting facts wore learned about the northern animals and birds. An especially interesting sight was the catching and caging of a wild Polar boar. The bes.r is still with Mr. Snow’s Exibition in Oakland. The student body raised enough monoy to pay off a- bout one-third of the amount due on tho flag. H7 ’ Class OUR BURBANK SCHOOL BAYS School days arc the happiest; so tho older folks say, and the ninth year classes are almost convinced that junior high school days arc the best of ell. Our spirits are interwoven with the daily school life of Bur- bank and we cannot at will disrel these fee lines. Wo have a fine building and we are proud of it. Our princi- pal is very kind to us all and we know he is acquainted with every pupil in the school. An ambitious pupil in Burbank, that sticks to his job, knows that the school is with him, faculty, principal, and all. The school be- lieves not only in excellent work but it also lets its pupils have a great deal of pleasure. Although Burbank is tho smallest junior high school of tho four in Berk- eley, it gives the other schools a run for thoir money in the games. We have grown to be a part of this school and it has become a part of us. When the time comes when there is no more schooling for us here, wo shall still remember tho happy, hard working days spent at Burbank . The K9 Classes V.

Like many other Spanish landholders he mortgaged his house to the incoming Americans, who forced, him to sell at their price. The John C.

This orep- is owned by the University of California. The y middle of the house shows the original clapboards. The stairway is the same one which was used by the Pore It as . An effort should be made to preserve this dwell- ing, for the memories that cluster about it are the memories of the period when life was peace and con- T rb ntment before the Gringo came.

The way many try is to be doing for others, making oth- but be sure tnar ers happy. Try it and find out you are not doing it for yourself. The motto: Do at lea.st one good turn daily ' ill bring happiness to others and to 3 r ou, also. I ca.rried a shopping bag of groceries home for a lady one day. Several months afterward I was trying to get subscriptions and I stopped at her house. She gave me the sub- scription and. told me where I could get more. I have told this so you may know that it may happen that pour good turns will do a good turn for you.

Virta, Gertrude Wickman, Helen THE PHANTOM SHIP It was evening; and the sea was calm. Ships glided over the surface of the water and silently went on their courses. So still were they that it seemed as if they floated instead of sailed. Far in. the south a ship was discerned. But, what a queer ship! As it came nearer it was silhouetted against the darkening sky. Its ribs could he dimly seen. Moving shadows cloaked the boat, and all was silent. There were no sails, and no visible sailors, and yet the vessel glided weirdly along as if pushed by some powerful hand. As it came nearer the sky darkened, the waves rolled higher, and with increased fury, the sea vented its rage upon the ship. The bells rang and the lighthouse sent its beams across the wa- ters but the ship heeded not. On it came creaking and rolling, guided by some invisible hand straight towards the rocks! As it hit them a fearful scream rest the air and out of the wreckage appeared a per- son clothed in black! With a horrible laugh he dis- appeared in thin air, and the w Phantom Ship went to rest at the bottom of the sea. Lucille Page L9 SUNRISE ON LOCH KATRINE The ripple on the lake, the murmur in the sky, and the clouds fast gathering sense the coming of morn. On Loch Katrine no sound is heard. On the land the breezes play among the trees, and as they spring, and hop, and twirl, the sky lightens in the east and slowly the Gods open wide the gate of the golden sun Softer and brighter the gray clouds change to welcome their king. Greener the grass seems and the dew glistens in the earliness of morn. The cun is coming l All nature its eyes want s to appear beautiful before o . As the sun shows his first tip above the hori- zon, the birds burst into chorus, the brooks sing, the trocu .:• q happy . sway in solemn welcome, and everyone is iVo n the rooster in his rude palace is happy, as it shrills its coarse harmony to the world. Edith Carlson L9 THE MYSTERIOUS SHIP The sea was rough and stormy. The sky was gray and black. Here and there was dimly seen a schooner plowing her way in and out of the harbor. Off in a corner lay a small wharf. Tied here was a 180 foot yacht . Smoke was rolling from her funnel. Once a sailor came out and poured some garbage over-board Night came paid passed. Morning came and found the wharf unoccupied. During the night the yacht had sailed out with a load of opium and Chinese smug- glers. Days went by but the United States Coa£t Guard found no trace of the missing vessel. Years nassed vet no trace was found of her and she was forgotten. One night a storm a.rose which tossed ships around on the sea. The next morning along the shore of San Francisco Bay the remains of the mysterious yacht were found. In the captain s locker were all the ship’s papers. From these it was learned that the skipper of the yacht was cra.zed by the defeat of Germany in the World War. Since that time he had smuggled opium and Chinese into the United States. William Wolf L8 I : ■ • ; r . OCEAN VIEW SCHOOL In 1856 Patrick Rooney donated an acre of ground, the present site of the Franklin School, for the purpose of building the Ocean View School. Cap- tain Bowen furnished the lumber Miss Haneke was the first teacher. She lived near the Castro homestead at the present county-line. In good weather she walked this distance. Mr. Charles Carlton, Mr. Moses Unda, and Mr. H. C. Hastens, all still living, attend- ed this school in 1856. The district included all the territory from the hills to the bay, and from Emeryville to El Cerrito. Miss Haneke was succeeded by Mr. Skinner, S. A. Penwell and M. M. Oilman. Mr. Penwell lived in Oakland, but on account of the distance, boarded at the Ocean View House. Young and energetic, he also held night school. Among his night school pupils were Peter Ouenette, Joe Lopez, Andy Swenson, Sam Heywood, John Rooney, Ed. Schmidt, and Charles Hadien, the three latter still living here. Mr. Oilman taught in the building later removed to 912 Orayson Street, and now used as a dwelling house. In the early 70 1 s a splendid library was purchased for the ase of pupils and ps,rents. In 1874 there were f rr + y-f ive families living in Ocean View but in 1877 trier e was an unparalleled growth for there were one hundred thirty-one families and a daily school attendance of eighty-four. Daring this same time Ocean View School was used on Sunday for church and Sunday-school services held by Dr. James Curry, who, in 1879, dadicated the first Presbyterian Church in Berkeley, now called Westminster Church, on the corner of Eighth and Hearst Avenue. Mrs. Susie McClur e-Driver , who was the first woman assistant-teacher in Berkeley, taught under Mr. Oilman. He resigned as Principal to become the first Town Marshal or Mayor. His assistant, Mrs. McClure- Driver, later - as Principal of the Colur.oue School To prove her interest in t . is • coma unity . she donated in 1933, a splendid collection of ores •• nd other pioneer materials to the Buroank museum.

His work as Princioal and teacher was of exceptional merit for pupils he taught have shorn marked success in life. The opportunities afforded the children of Berkeley ’ ith its many school buildings and improved facilities are the outgrowth of the seeds sc-m by such pioneers and .ood citizens as Patrick Rooney, Captain Jacobson, Henry Carlton enc Captain Boren. VISITORS ‘ CAY AT OCEAN VIEW In response to a request for an experience of early life in Berkeley, a roman now living in anoth- er part of the state made this contribution. ”1 remember when I was a very little tot that I w «s scrubbed from head to foot, starched from center to circumference so that I hardly dared to sit do n, and my frizzled hair was tied ’ r ith blue ribbons.

Stanley Nelson H8 THE OLD BARN No building in Berkeley was mor T closely asso- ciated with the history of Berkeley than an old barn that was burned on Hay 7,18°7 in the Henry W. Taylor Lumber yard. A ,rr ay back in 1856 it was built by Cap- tain Jacobsen near the wharf that was called Jacobs’ Landing. This wharf was oiic transfer point- between the Contra Costa shore and San Francisco except by stage from Pinole to Oakland. In this barn were held all the festivities of the countryside for many miles. There were threads of romance inside its walls. It was so large that as Ocean View, as this section was called, grew, it met the needs of a pub- lic hall , a meeting place and a ballroom, many a time the barn w s cleared of its contents, the w lls decorated, the huge grain dins transformed into dressing rooms, the ancient lamps of sperm oil shed golden rays over scenes of youthful happiness and the rafters echoed hack the melody of the violin. . Only a memory now , for the soul of these festivities went out in the crackle of flames, Aileen Lavigne H8 THE FIRST FACTORY The gold fever in 1850 drought A. Rammelsderg to Eldorado County, where Fortune smiled upon him. He returned to San Francisco, where he lost so heav- ily in the fire of 1853, that he discontinued his furniture business. He became associated with John Everding who had a starch factory in San Francisco. The price of water, a cartload of 250 gallons was one dollar. A bucketful, five gallons, cost twenty- five cents. There was little water in San Francis- co because the expense of digging a well in the sand- dimes was great. Most of the water had to be brought by boat from Sausalito. As a great; amount of water is used in the manufacture of starch, Mr. Everding came to Berkeley and purchased acreage at the foot of what is now Hearst Avenue. The redwood timbers used to hold the great stones in his grist- mill were hauled by oxen from a mill near Redwood Peak. We were told that these timbers a.ra still in this mill on Second and Hearst Avenue. Mr. Everding before his marriage lived with his mother on the northside of Strawberry Creek near Judge Pennell’ s old home, 3th and Hearst Avenue. In this yard was planted the first redwood tree in this section. The old home was removed to 1808 10th Street. Old timers will recognize the picture of the home of John Ever- ding, the pioneer manufacturer. John Tucker H8 OCEAN VIEW HOUSE Captain William J. Bowen came to San Francisco from Cape Cod on an old windjammer that had sailed around the Horn.” In 1853, he moved to Ocean View and bought a parcel of ground from Strawberry Creek to Schoolhouse Creek. On the present site of Ocean View Oil Station, he built Ocean View House in which he conducted an hotel and grocery store most of the goods meeting the wants of early settlers , --liquor , tobacco, candy, etc The stage running from Pinole and San Pablo to Oakland stopped here to rest pas- sengers and horses Years later when the old San Pablo School could net accommodate the school popula- tion and Captain Bowen had given up his store and hotel, the vacant store was used as a primary class- room. lien and women of today will recall their childhood days and the good times spent in play under the old cypress tree in the yard of Captain Bowen. Warren Olson H8 WILLO 1 GROVE PARK ■ .. . . In the early 70‘s Willow Grove Park near the outlet of Strawberry Greek, was far famed. Soon af- ter the completion of the Central Pacific railroad, now the Southern Pacific, far-seeing- men realized that the eastern side of the hay would develop from farming lands to a thriving community. The natural beauties cf this section, the unexcelled drainage, the abundance of good water and the equable climate were the attra.ctions set forth by the organizers of the Berkeley Land and Town Improvement Association in 1873. Willow Grove Park was developed on the g ' present blocks of land between University Avenue and. Brr ' stpl Street and 3rd and 5th Streets. The park was advertized as the finest of retreats with a fine brock (Strawberry Greek) of clear we ter coursing through the grounds. A spacious pavilion for danc- ing and other public purposes was erected. In Au- gust 1879, a grand Republican barbecue was held. A- mong the three thousand persons pres nt were George C. Perkins, Booth, Scott end Morrow. In the evening there were speeches and music and camp fires were lighted. A torch-light parade was held. Two steam- boats from the old Berkeley wharf a.nd a dozen audi- tioned cars, running during the day until midnight, ■were needed to accommodate the seven thousand per- sons who had visited Berkeley. The barbecue w r ound up with a ball which continued until morning. By this event Berkeley had been made known to thousands who were delighted with the visit, the oarbccue and the eloquent speeches. On this occasion George C. Perkins delivered his campaign address for he was running for Governor against his Democratic opponent, Doctor Glenn. Upon completion of the railroad, largely built by Coolie labor, there was great agitation against the Chinese. Of course the Chinese question was made an issue of the campaign. During the day and evening a quar- tette sang, ”0h, where is Glenn? Oh, where is Glenn? He ' s ranching in Colusa With his gang of Chinamen.” This song stormed the state elected Governor and Perkins was Juanita Ritzman H8 VICTOR CASTRO’S HISTORIC HOME We wonder how many people from the south travel- ing northward realize that there is a groat historic home just on the other side of the little creek that separates Alameda County from Contra Costa Count y. The truth is that about 90 percent or more of the people pass right by, ignorant of the fact that they are passing what was once the home of Victor Castro. Today we see many new homes of Spanish type but his house is a real Spanish house with walls from two to three feet thick made of adobe. The old Castro family occupied this house in the early ’40’ s. It was considered one of the grandest dwellings in the country round. Here were held the gayest dances and the most brilliant fiestas. The mansion was the meeting piece of grandees and senoras, dames and senoritas from all parts of California. The family in 1341 had received from John B. Alvarado, the Governor of California, a grant of 97,680 seres of land. In the ’50 ' s squatters settled here and there, but Victor Castro kept a portion of his vast estate. For many years he was a familiar figure in this section for he drove every day to the West Berkeley Post office to get his mail. His children, Victor and Julia., attended the San Pablo Avenue School (now the Franklin) under the Principalship of Mr. George W. Horton. The only survivor of this branch of the historic family is Mrs. Julia Galpin. remains of the grand old place except its romantic past.

John Molinari H8 BERKELEY’S FIRST ELECTION On May 13, 1878 the first election of the town of Berkeley was held. The only men living today who were on the successful ticket and were elected as Trustees arc A. H. Board, 2119y Kittredme Street: 7 7 and Charles TV. P vi s 1634 Fifth Street Among the men living who voted at that first election are Edward Brennan, Charles Carlton, Charles Hadlen, Henry C.

Blanche Mroczko H8 BURBANK STUDENTS— DESCENDANTS OF OUR PIONEERS Clark Bowers: His maternal great-grandmother was the wife of Capt . W. J. Bowen who had come from Massachusetts in a sailing vessel around the Horn during the gold rush to California. In 1853 he built Ocean View house far-famed for many years. To him and Patrick Rooney must be given the credit for the establishment of our first school. The site of the Westminister Presbyterian Church was donated by this generous citizen. The Gill Nursery, bordering on Cordonices Creek and extending from San Pablo Avenue to the Bay, was the ranch of John Drivej, whose daughter, Annie, married Robert Burcher, the grandfather of our Margaret Burcher. We wonder if there was a Truant Officer on Feb. 23, 1878 when boys fishing in Cord- onices Greek on the Driver ranch, caught a salmon troutweighing nine (?) pounds. Howard Brennan: Just across the way from the Burbank School was the Curtis ranch where Josephine Curtis, Howard’s grandmother was born. His great-grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Michael Curtis donated a site just back of the family home for the building in which the first Catholic Church services were held on special oc- casions by Father Gualco of San Pablo. Howard’s grandfather, Mr. Edward Brennan, or Ned Brennan, as everyone calls him, was an early comer to Ocean View. With his brothers, James and John, the Brennan Livery stable was conducted at the foot of Universi- ty Avenue. Hugh Fee.- In 1870 Patrick Fee, Hugh’s grandfather bought two acres of land, now the 3001 block on College Avenue, a very exclusive and valuable residential district. For many years he rented and farmed the adjoining land; the present Elmwood Park, Berry Bangs Hillegas Tracts and lands as far west as the LeConte School . Forence Kroll: Her great grandfather, Mr. Albert Noble, a sen of Maine and a soldier during the Civil War came to California at the age of twenty-one. He married here and lived in this section until his death. He re- called the old match factory days for he and his brother were among the first employees. He was a ma- chinist for thirty years at the Judson Iron Works in Emeryville . Fred Nichelmann: Mr. Henry Fastens, his great-grandfather, came to Ocean View, a boy of thirteen on July’ 5, 1855, on the sloop of Captain Jacobs, who often allowed passen- gers to come ovef from San Francisco to Jacob 1 s Land- ing, free of charge. Mr. Fastens came to work for Mr. John Everding in whose emoloy he remained oracti- cally all his life. He had many offers to leave for he became an exoert starch-maker but was lcyal to his old-time friend. He established a home on the present site of 732 Addison Street where his family of nine children stvent their youth. At one time, he was a member of the Berkeley Board of Education. The Westminster Presbyterian Church points with pride to him as the oldest member in terms of service and regular attendance. His clean, honorable life is reflected in his kindly smile and fatherly manner. He is hailed as one of Berkeley’s most respected citizens. Dorothy and Theresa Sisterna: Dorothy Sisterna and Theresa Sisterna, cousins, are the great grand-dauthters of Rosario and Carmen Sisterna, who were born in Chili, but settled in Berkeley in 1856. They bought SO acres of land ex- tending from about Eighth street to the Bay and from Strawberry Creek to Bancroft Way. They sold a small part of Henry Durant of the University. This section gave such promise of becoming a thriving commercial center that the Sisternas were offered, but refused, 160 acres of the. land, now a part of the Campus of the University of California, for 30 acres of their water-front land. In 1878 they built the finest house in town on the southwest corner of University avenue and. Sixth street. Here they extended rare hospitality to the elite from all sections of the Bay region. Sisterna Hall was built on the opposite corner for Sixth street was the second main artery for it led to the flourishing Judson Chemical Co., the Powder Works , and the Wentworth Boot and Shoe Co. The Hall, well-built, with beautifully frescoed walls and a well-equipoed stage, was the scene of all political and social gatherings for many years. Mrs. Uregario Moore, who was 90 years old in May, and is now living at Orinda, is the daughter of this pro- gressive oioneer. THE INDIANS OF THE BERKELEY REGION - ndians were here before the white people. rf ' fYhcy were the earliest people of which there is any record. They were called CTostonean, a Spanish name meaning M coast ‘ people.” Twelve mounds, that the Indians left, have been found between Point Rich- mond and Alameda, near the shore. 1 The re- ktvc.ever camps were made, mounds have been The remains of one mound can still be seen at the foot of Bristol Street. One of the largest, that at Emeryville, has been very recently destroyed to make room for factories. In these mounds 7 ere camp debris, shells, bones of fish, weapons, tools, and few skeletons. Old mis- sion records give additional information about the life of these early inhabitants. These Indians around the bay region were dirty, unwarlike, and of the lowest type. They were short and ugly, with large mouths, thick lips, deep set eyes, and dark complexion. They were superstitious and tried to drive out the bad spirits, but gave of- ferings of corn, nuts, seeds and flowers to the good spirits. Some of them worshioped a stuffed bird. They believed that everything had been covered with water, except Mt. Diablo. On this dry spot the humming bird, eagle, and coyote were thought to be the only living creatures. The women were the ones who did the hard work, while the men were lazing around, or hunting and fishing. The old and feeble were expected to do as much as the youngsters. In the winter they had tule huts made of grass and mud; but in summer they lived in the open. Nature gave them their food. They caught fish, collected clamp and mussels. The only boats they had were made by tying two logs together and using thin paddles In these they could go but a short distance from shore. It would be very hard to catch a sea lion so it wasn’t an everyday occasion. Some- times a whale would be washed ashore and the Indians would have a grand feast. They were fond of rabbit, deer, and insects, grasshoppers, worms, and seeds. They lived happily even after the missions came, but not after the Americans drove them from their land.

They have been famous because of their great singing. He will sing way into the night when the lights are on. His singing is a, rolling sound with some canary tune- fully sung. He sings for a long time. His name is Pete” and he knows his name. When he wants any food he will chirp for it. We feed him crackers, anything green, apples, bird seed and •water . Our family likes Pete’s singing. His coat-col- or is dark green with black and white feathers. When the cat looks at him, he just disdainfully stares at the cat, thinking himself quite safe in his gilt-edge cage. Merle Bedell H7 MY PET DOG I have a little pet dog named Pat, he is a Spitz dog about two feet high, and his hair is white and thick. He is a very cute dog and when he has had a bath he looks like a snow ball. He has a black nose and black eyes, with no white in thern like most dogs. When he looks straight at you, all you can see are two little black eyes and a black nose . He is very quick at hearing, someone he will run into the house He is also very mean about tearing to keep things out of his reach or into little pieces. Once he got a one was home and when we came home to little bits and strung all over When he hears and start to bark, clothes. We have he will tear them newspaper when no he had it torn in- the floor. Doris Clark H7 PRICE ' S BAD HABIT y pet is a German-police bog ar.d His name is Prince. He is black with a white spot on his hack, resembling a start: rm_ i ne f pi I ;!h f ami ly, including myself, think that he is the best dog we ever had, because he shows his kind attitude toward us by fol- lowing us wherever we go, and he is al- r ways ready to help us with our work. He has one habit which we have tried to get rid of and that is chasing cats. Whenever he sees a cat he is always ready to give chase. We have been trying to teach him how cruel it is by scolding him, but he doesn ' t seem to pay any attention to us. One day Prince was chasing a neighbor’s chicken and he was caught in the act by the owner. The lady threw a rock at him and injured his paw. It has been sore for two weeks arid I hope when it gets well it will teach him a good lesson. Even though Prince is cruel to animals, we love him very much. Emilv Cola HS PLAYFUL SPORT My pet is Sport.” He is black and has some white under his neck, and is all curly. He is six years old, and a lively spaniel. Mien we are play- ing in the yard he wants to play also, but we do not let him loose. Many times I play with him. He barks at every little thing almost, that he sees walk or run. He eats very much, and he drinks milk p.nd yet he is not very big for his age. When we let him loose he runs all over the gar- den and flowers and spoils everything. That is why we keep him tied up. But he was not the best pet dog we had. The best dog was in Utah. I do not know the kind of dog he was. I was small at that time. I will not forget him, though he is dead.

Clarke Bowers H8 A BIRD’S THANKSGIVING It was in cold, snowy Maine near Thanksgiving time and only a few living creatures were abroad.. One of these was a little robin. When winter was ap- proaching his parents flew south. Robin was weak so he dropped behind. Each day he picked up a few seeds, — just enough to keep him living. Then one day he could find nothing. For two days it was the same. Then he happened to see Farm- er Jones 1 house. It was the same as usual onlv there was a queer thing in the front yard. As his curiosity was strong he flew over and looked. He saw a branch with seeds and suet on it. He ate till he was satisfied. Then he hid all he could in se- cret places. Soon he met a jolly robin who became his mate in the spring. Rooin had enough to last him all winter from a bird’s thanksgiving. Evelyn LaMont H8 A THANKSGIVING TALE ’Twas the morning before Thanksgiving, And not a soul was there in sight, Except for old farmer McDonald, Who ?;as swearing with all his might. Swearing loudly, and probably you would too, With an axe in one of his big hands. For he had been hunting for the fat turkey, And already he had looked all over the lands. But, the turkey was as wise as the farmer was mad, For he d been hiding all the while, Hiding — not so awfully far away from him, But, behind the old rubbish pile. Finally the farmer spied him, and away he went. First to the barn, around the hhy, Then down again, the farmer chasing him all the time, Until the kids came out to help in the play. They chased him all along, and on the next day At the table there wasn’t any chatter, They were afraid they wouldn’t have any turkey, But, behold, Ma carried him in on the platter! Martha Carlson L8 AUTUMN LEAVES Autumn leaves are drifting d6wn, All around, all around. They leave the trees so bare and cold, Big, and little, young, and old, Gold, and yellow, brown and red. Now autumn has gone and the leaves are dead. Thelma O’Keefe L8 CHRISTMAS IN GERMANY In Germany before Christmas, we can see Santa Claus, Santa comes to the children ' s homes. With Santa Claus is a girl dressed all in white It is thought to be the Christchild. Santa Claus has a sack with him, with nuts, candy, and cake. One time he came to see my brother and me. He asked: Are the children good or do they need spanking? My mother said: They are good 4 Santa Claus then spoke with the Christchild and the Christchild got for each of us a book from Santa Claus ' s sack, and some candy, too. J5il i a Manch 07 CHRISTMAS IN RUSSIA Christmas time is very beautiful in Russia. Everything in nature is shining with snow. The Rus sian people celebrate Christmas for three days and the day before Christmas the people do not eat any- thing until they can see the first stur in the sky. Everyone tries to prepare a beautiful table and a good supper, consisting of special Christmas dishes made from all kinds of fish, fru?ts, and puddings. Every family has a Christmas Tree for their children. They put the tree in the front room and decorate it. But all this time they keep the door locked from the children. When the decorating is finished they put presents under the Christmas Tree. When the door is opened a lovely light comes from the .room and presents are given to the children. Vera Vesninsky 07 SANTA CLAUS, INCOGNITO The orient ly lighted shoos and the hurrying crowd depressed him. It ues Christmas Eve and all tne people were hastening to purchase some last min- ute presents oefore the shops closed, but he felt leit out in the cold because he had no last minute purchases to make He had a nephew but he remembered last year ' s polite thank you 11 and a hurrying back to other toys as he gave the present to his nephew. Ke finally arrived home after aimless wander- ings. A bachelor’s apartment, but his only home. As he climbed up the stairs, he heard someone crying. Why, Mrs. Smith, what is it? It was his landlady. Ohi My bey is expecting Santa Claus and there is no scooter, came the plaintive answer. Never mind. You go to bed and see if Santa doesn’t come anyway, he said. He found himself out in the street again. He hurried to the nearest shop. They were preparing to hut they let him in. A scooter, please He. selected the biggest and brightest scooter he could find and hurried back to the apartments. He placed the scooter a.t the foot of the little boy’s bed, after climbing through a window, and then went to bed. He felt oddly excited, oddly thrilled. It wasn’t half bad playing Santa Claus. He wondered how that little bov would look when he saw the V scooter. Mildred Brockhage H9 close up, KY BELIEF IN SANTA CLAUS At the age of five years I believed in Santa Claus. One Christmas night I was sitting by the fireplace with my brother, thinking what Santa Claus was going to bring me. All of a sudden we heard some noises out in the front yard. We ran quickly and opened the front door. Out on the front lawn my two uncles were having a snowball fight. It was too cold, standing by the door, so we shut the door and went in by the fire again. In about fif- teen minutes my uncles came in and said they were go- ing to bed. In about a half hour the front door opened and in came a funny-looking man dressed in a red suit with white trimming. My brother said it was Santa Claus. I got frightened and ran into the bed room. My brother stayed by the fire and started making fun of him. Then my brother went into my un- cles’ bed room and saw only one uncle. He ran out and ceTLled to Santa Claus, ’’Hello Uncle Charley.” My uncle started laughing and said he couldn ' t fool us any longer. Never afterwards could we believe in Santa Claus. The man most loved by all little children is Santa Claus. I can remember the days when Santa Claus was one of my gods. For weeks before Christmas I would await the arrival of Santa. Every night I would esk, Mother, is he coming tonight?” And she would tell me that I would have to be patient and wait. Many we re the afternoons I would spend improvising let- ters to dear old Santa, telling him what I wanted Finally, the great moment would come. On my asking the usual question, Mother would answer, ”Yes, he is coming tonight. Now, be a nice little girl and go to sleep.” I would make resolutions and I would not fall asleep so I could see Santa, but at length my eyes would close. In the morning when I would waken, my first thought would be that this day was the day of all days. I would jump up and lol the Christmas tree would be loaded with presents that Santa had brought. Now my ideas have changed. There is still a Santa, however, for on Christmas, the tree is there and the presents also. I know now that they are from my friends, but what is the difference?

Perhaps this contest had been more entertaining that instructive, but in- terest he.s been aroused to some extent. Many chil- dren having seen oertain books mentioned, with which they were not familiar, have immediately decided to read them. Three hundred thirteen votes were re- ceived and the books which were the most popular are listed below: Tom Sawyer Gall of the Wild Tarzan Little Shepherd of Kingdom Treasure Island With Ramona The Girl of the Limberlost Anne of Green Gables Janice Meredith Polly anna Secret Garden Uncle Tom Come Sapphire Signet Nobody’ s Boy Desert Gold Freckles the Indians in the Rockies Trail of the Lonesome Pine Shasta of the Wolve Keeper of the Bees Little Women Bob, Son of Battle Gall of the Cannon s Cabin THE CIRCULAR STAIRCASE ' o ' - Kp.tv Roberts Rinehart M ’ b ( | iA .

The cast as finally chosen was a creditable one. The costumes were made by the sewing classes. ' The one the Knight Templar wore, was particularly outstand- ing. Vincent LaRocca L8 EVERY OTHER THURSDAY Edna Ferber’s story, ’’Every Other Thursday,” was pantomined by four members of the L9” ’ class on October 7. ’’Every Other Thursday” is one of the most inter- esting of Edna Ferber’s stories. Every other Thurs- day is Helmi ’ s night off. This particular Thursday morning, Helmi is requested to take Sunday off in- stead of Thursday, as guests are expected. Both Mrs. Mawson ana her daugnter plead and plead, but the only answer they receive is a defiant, ”No” as Helmi leaves the room. Ida May Guy H9 A PAGEANT OF CALIFORNIA HISTORY A Pageant of California History,” was presented by the entire seventh grade history classes, Thurs- day a.fternoon, October 14, and Friday evening, Oct- ober 15. Over 140 pupils participated in the production. The pageant was very colorful and correct in detail. It portrayed effectively to the pupils the early California hist orical episodes. It was written by Miss Louisa Santos, one of our art teachers. The rcc-.ioT- l projected from the a lantern and colored with the colored spot gel? tine pie tec inserted in the lantern. t ere opt icon light and ih L-my beautiful costumes, designed by the art te o ers, were made by the girls of the house- hold art department under the direction of Mis? Fisk. Tne colored costumes took on adc’ed intensity and va- riation under the colored light projected on them. The settings were cut out of mounting paper, strong inougii to withstand the heat of the machine, and yet thin enough to allow for intricate and fine cuttings of foliage and other details of. the scenes. These slides were then magnified in projection to the size of the back curtain of the stage. Much of the success of the lighting of the pag- eant was due to the clever lighting equipment and de- vices made by Kenneth Bolton and Bert Rosenquist. The principal scenes presented were: The Voyage of Columbus; The Discovery of California by Cabrillo; The Coming of Sir Francis Drake; The Land Expedition to California; The Bell of Carnino Real; The Bear Flag Rebellion; The Discovery of Gold; The Stage- Coach; The Pony Express; and The First Continental Railroad of California. All members of the cast played their part with feeling and spontaneity. Elvie Luokkala L9 THE MAGIC MIRROR The Magic Mirror was presented by the H3 class, October 28. It is a pl y in which goblins, ghosts, brownies, and fairies hold a tryst. Half of the effect of the play was due to the splendid music played by the school orchestra. The weird strains made us shiver with fright. The lights were dim and ghastly. Each moment was filled with tense excite- ment . Nina Riccomagno L8 THE PIE AND THE TART Wednesday evening, The Pie and the Tart, November 17, a French play, by Dondo was given by the � H9” class. Two tramps by their wits secure a bounti ful chicken pie from the proprietress of a bakery shop in the absence of her husband, the cook. Josephine Smiraglia L8 THE GARDEN OF PROSERPINA Another H9” play given the same evening as ’’The Pie and the Tart” was ”The Garden of Proserpina. ” In this play the visit of Orpheus to the underworld is related. He goes to bring back his wife, Erydice The furies take their usual vengeance on incoming shades. Proserpina symphathizes with Orpheus for she was taken to the underworld by Pluto against her wish and longs to return to the upper-world. Mer- cury brings the long-looked- f or word from Jupiter that they may each year return for half the year. The orchestra produces the music of the lyre t hr ough out the scene. Salvador Zulaica L8 WHY THE CHIMES RANG ’’Why the Chimes Rang” was the H9 play. Two little peasant boys, Steen and Holgar, have a waited Christmas with great expectations, because they were to have gone to the great Cathedral. There is a ru- mor that the chimes of the Cathedral will ring on Christmas if a suitable gift is placed on the altar for the Christ Child. As the boys are leaving with their Uncle, Holgar decides to stay to offer food to an old beggar woman cold and hungry. As Holgar and the old woman sit by the fireside a vision of the Cathedral passes before them. Peo- ple are going up to the altar with their presents for the Christ Child, each one expecting to hear the chimes, but they do not ring. When Holgar presents his pennies, the chimes ring out. An angel appears at the altar and tells Holgar it is not gold nor riches that please the Lord, but love and self-sacrifice. As ' the vision disappears, Holgar turns to tell the old woman what he has seen, but she is gone. Mildred Brockhage H9 The girls of the school shewed much interest in volley ball during this yearns season. Tryouts for the ninth grade t earn were better than those for the eighth grade. The first game flayed against Gar- field was almost a victory for Burbank. Both teams had to play three games before Garfield was an- nounced the winner. Burbank won both eighth and ninth grade games from Willard without any dif- ficulty, but Edison wen both games from us. The ninth grade lineup was: Glora Russell, captain; Rita Dondo; Estelle. White; Enos Dcndo; Katherine Frunzillo; Edith Carlson; Angelina Giordano; Corine Gobbi; Frances Batchelder; Ramona, Eakins; Helen Wichman; Ellen Matson. The eighth grade lineup was: Helen Marsicano, captain; Myrtle Hartman; Millie Lofaso; Evelyn Jurgenson; Dorothy DeCosta; Teresa Si sterna; Anna Poutanen; Evelyn Price; Anna Mean; Teresa Dooley; Lorraine Brownell. The inter-class volley ball games were won by Miss Martin ' s class, the LS ' . The inter-class soccer games are not yet finished. From all ap- pearances, the L9 ' class will probably be the win- ners for this series of games. THE FIELD DAY On Wednesday afternoon, November 17, the entire student body took part in field day. All partici- pants were dressed in their gymnasium costumes. The pupils marched from their class rooms and took their places on the field. The student body was called to attention by Mr. Preston to give the flag salute. The school band played music for the arm drill and the Finnish Reel, which were led by Mr. Carlsen. Miss Marjorie Crouch, Miss Morse 1 s cadet, led the school in a set of exercises. Following the counter and baton relays, each class formed by fours and marched around the yard to compete for the posture banner. This banner was won by the L3” class. The L7 n ’ won second place and the L7’ took third place. The children of the school seemed to enjoy the field day and are already talking of another one. AN INTER- CLASS TRACK MEET An inter-class track meet is better than an in- ter-school one because there will be more competi- tion among the classes for the honor of winning. More parents will come to see an inter-class meet when held in the neighborhood. Pupils will no lon- ger feel, as at the last track meet, that defeat is certain since other junior high schools, having lar- ger inrollments, can select a better team. Many of us do our stunts perfectly at home, but get fright- ened and confused and cannot win before a crowd. We are accustomed to our own playground and have a bet- ter chance to excel. Many more students will train and participate in events. A few schools pay too much money for uniforms and decorations. We are con- vinced that the advantages are greater in having a track meet at home, H8 Glass BOYS’ BALL GAMES The last season of volley ball was a great suc- cess. We had more boys out for volley ball than in any previous season. Most of our boys played in one or more games. This is what we want. Our inter- class soccer contest was the best we have ever had. All the teams were out to win and fought hard. The honors for the longest game goes zo the 8 grade. In the 9 vs. K9 game the boys fought for one hour and fifteen minutes; the score being 0-0. Later they met again to settle the dispute. Peter Biagi of the H8 shot the only goal, thereby defeating the H9 for the championship by a score of 1-0. The boys showed a splendid knowledge of the game. ♦ v ‘ V.. V pa pev y 1 V bjpfev ' w v €■ •«? • • ' ?. ■ ■■■) S : hi ‘ ' V ' •■••• S i y s ?

I wish to express tne gratitude fel by the band towards Mr. Preston for his kindly encouragement and support, which helped, to a great extent the growth and development of the Burbank school band. Martin Hobbs THE ORCHESTRA Splendid co-operation on the part of principal and faculty has made this season the busiest and most successful that the orchestra has ever experi- enced. Incentive is the key to progress in the orches- tral department. Prearranged schedules have made the work easier than ever before. Mr. Preston sub- mitted a list of engagements at the beginning of the term, which aided us in following a definite course. Last but not least, I must compliment the mem- bers of the orchestra for their co-operation, by which our standard of achievement has been raised. V. M. Shott THE NEW MUSIC DICTIONARIES This term the music department has been pre- sented with a set of six books called ’’Grove ' s Dic- tionaries ’ in which one can find the answer to al- most every question pertaining to music. One can find definitions of musical terms and articles aoout the not T es anr r orks of great musicians. Other hooks have been ordered but as vet nave out in an a type ranee , though the present High ! T inth honed thev ' will arrive before the — arrive semes Ter interest closes. Many of the children take a deep in books on music, and hope that Burbank Scnoolj ill have a complete music library some time in tne fu- ture.

Altogether there are four lathes, but this new one is reserved for those that can use a lathe properly. The lathes coot about one hundred ten dollars. There are four big wheels attached to the ceiling. Tlic bolts go from the motor to one wheel which turns all the rest. On the lathe one can make lamp stands, baseball bats, wheels, clubs, and fancy carvings. The most wonderful part of it is that it makes hardly any noise. When the electric saw is moving, one cannot tell that the lathes are running. The shop is improving day by day and some d.ay we are going to have the best shop any school can have.

A student body can be made a necessary part of any school. There is no use in halving a student body council if every member of that committee isn’t willing to help. Everyone should work hard to think of a good plan to improve the activities of Burbank Junior High School. It is a very good idea to let the children give their opinions of the school and now they think anv improvement can be made. If the members of the student body are interested in their work they will elect class presidents who will do their best to make others follow their plans. In this way our school should improve very much. N o r ma Me r c i ar i L9 0W f HHH • ■ . w ■ ' • ii H-V- ,• .- ? SvfSS .w m mm. mm wm 3 a ■ • v f ?- ' ' mmmmm I-.-; KiiH 5 Ov i .

A good sport is a good loser and a fair winner. If one has lost the game, it is lost and that is all there is to it„ There should be no talk about the other side ! s cheating. One should congratulate the other side on its good playing and not sulk over losing the game. Some athletes, after the game is played and lost, {always find something to say against the other side. Per haps they would say the game was won by cheating and not Xo by fair play This makes the opponent think one 3 s sports V. panship low and the opponent will not wish to play a- feainst that team again. i Poor sportmanship makes the loser feel angry at his 4 Dwn team as well as at the opponents If one thinks, n 0h, I don t know how to play; I al- ' Ways lose,” why, of course, he will have no ambition, to win.

Some mothers think their sons will get hurt, suffer roken legs or arms, or be crippled for life, or even be killed, as these accidents often happen. Almost every boy likes to participate in some sport, and, if a boy can play some game, he would surely rather play in it than watch it. Then, when a boy at last makes the team he wants to show his best ability and, while he rough. doing so, an accident may occur if the game gets too ' — i Football is a very jhealthy boy will enjoy it.

SPRING IS WELCOMED Sis xA When spring comes again after his absence of a year, the whole world changes as if by magic. The flowers be- gin to bloom and cast to the air their odors of sweetness The meadows glow with buttercups and dandelions. The sky is white and the clouds of winter are retreating until [Smother year. The birds again start their concerts of music and the robin sings sweeter than ever . The bees be s n II gin their work of making honey and hum as they go busily along. The jack-rabbit runs gayly through the fields ancf_ the sauirrel skips merrily from branch to branch. The beaver repairs his broken dam and again with his saw-mill of nature cuts down the trees for his use. The deer is seen running over the patches of green to the stream for his morning drink. The trout jumps in the air to wel- vjq; come the sun in the heavens. The trees put on tneir new aa green clothes of the year enhancing the beauty of spring.

Father greases and oils the car. Sister helps other pack the clothes. Brother packs the food. 6 1 a, At last you are on your way, but as father starts the engine, brother calls that the fishing rod has been left in the house. He goes and gets it, and just as fa- ther is ready to go, sister remembers she has left her cold cream in the house, and surely she must go and get it, for she doesn’t want to spoil her complexion. She gets it and you are on your way. At last you reach the springs, 3T0ther climbs out of the machine, and races up to the top of the hill. Sister is thinking of swimming. Father says, Tomorrow w e’li fish. Mother is contented just to sit down to rest. And so the vacation is spent, each one following his own taste.

During the first two days we traveled through woods and hills. Thei we hit the prairie land. It was very hot in the daytime and cold at night. Our friends met us and took us to their ranch. They owned more than two thousand five hundred acres of land. Their home was long ' and low, with the men ' s bunk house o one side and the horse corrals in the back. In front of the house there was a large tree, one hundred years old. Of course the first thing I did was to come to grie Te were way up in the northern part of the ranch one dry.

Then he went to sleep. When he awoke, he felt very hungry so he went to the door tep for his milk. When he got there, the dish was empty and a big yellow dog was racing down the alley, licking his chops. After that, Mickey went when he was called.

V BATTLE OF HASTINGS V 7 K ' v i 1, V ' , Edward the Confessor a weak king through, Told William, a duke, he ! d be king too. Should Edward die without a boy William, hinself, the crown would enjoy. But ere there came that fatal day, That Edward the Confessor passed away. But Harold of Wessex got the crown. All William could do was scowl and frown. Whether true or whether a fake William came England to take. William, he went to the Pope To get his good sanction and strenghten his hope. The Pope he consented and William was glad. The Pope condemned Harold and said he was bad. William got ready, began to build ships, In that famous year of 1066. William gathered the nobility. They were men of great ability. William set sail to go across And show Old England who was boss. The English left their fields and cattle, To fight in that famous Hastings battle. The night before the English made merry. But the Normans prayed and never did tarry. One da.y in October, a wonderful day, Both sides were ready to enter the fray. The battle was fought on Senlac hill. Both sides fought with courage a nd will. Twice he failed to break their lines For England held their own those times. When he failed he did say, Cheer up my men, we’ll win the day. He commanded his men with uncanny skill, And won that battle with a will. But ere that battle was fought on high Poor William lay with a shot in his eye. He was brave and full of pride. With the flag in his arms poor Harold died. As the field was bloody, so was the sky. As the battle is won, I say good-bye. Walter Whittock H9 IWHf W � r W ' A LITTLE JOURNEY TO BOOK LAND •T.

Good afternoon, Little Lady,” said Mr. Grey, Good afternoon yourself, Mr. Grey,” I responded. I heard say that you liked my books, Little Lady. Is that so?” asked Mr. Grey. ”It is true, I replied. “Why do you like my books?” he asked. Because,” I replied, you make me see what you write. I feel as if I’m in the book itself. You hold me interested in your wonderful Western tales and it seems that I have to finish your book before I lay it aside or Jwake up and find it was only a wonderful dream.” Mr. Grey had been listening while I talked and now said, Little Lady, I’m glad you like my books, it makes me feel as if I’ve done something after all.” “Indeed, you have, Mr. Grey. I’m sure every one likes your books, I said. Little Lady, turn the next page so I can go back to my desk, and write a more wonderful book than my others. I’ll let you read it, first, to see if you like it, then I will have it published, said Mr. Grey. Thank you, Mr. Grey. I’m sure every one will like your new book just as well as I shall, because you never make a fizzle of writing.” I turned the next page and there was the door.

On the other hand, a man who gets little pay but forms th habit of thrift will some day get ahead of the man get ting a larger salary.

The sugar j = in the form in which it appears in candy, is irritating to the organs of digestion. It is not so irritating when eaten after meals. The four main reasons for not eating too much candy are: It causes dental decay, spoils your appetite for other foods, causes diabetes, and makes you overweight. Egg yolk is best for the growth and development of the body. Fruits and vegetables have to be eaten to balance .the ash of the egg. There are seventy-five calories in ’an egg. The color of the egg influences the market value d|hbut not the food value. Keep eggs in a. cool place to pre-p • ' ' •;vent spoiling. To test an egg to see whether it is fresh Jor not, put it in a pan of water. A fresh egg will sink hile a stale one will float.

Luther Burbank always strove to make all things bet- ter, not merely satisfied to leave well enough alone. ' vREurely this is the attitude we need to adopt. Strive to 3Hp1ake all things better. The teachers will then take pride OS m i. oleasure in their 7 ork if thev can and derive great ( the children under i i pif the many wP g£ z unaer urrcun dingg ( m “The v_ by __ sng _Z_ l_ _ y Taw is noli only to ' 15 e dbeyed“ ' by the comrnis- new law -jsioners but a great responsibility falls upon the pupils. jThey should try, never to disobey this lav , or run away jwhen a commisioner has caught them. I think if the pupils and commissioners would live jup to these qualifications we would have better order in dthe halls and a happier student body. 21 John Schroth H SPORT SMAN SHI P IN ATHLETICS The greatest and most famous habit of the world is a good sportmanship. A good, sport you will always find, r ii s reedy to help anyone, is a jolly person, is very well Till i9Q itiv , and is always ready for life with a clean and ac- mind. In school athletics there should always be jlgood sportsmanship. The spirit is to be p good loser or a good winner, and not to be too boastful in triumph or sulky in defeat. If defeat is caused by the error of a player who is playing hard and trying to do his Des team, m nor f 1 o o -L ' n is oe critical of what he does and cause hurt When Burbank s teams played other schools and 5 dO lings not ’-in, I am sure they lost with a good spirit. To Rt fo use did. be by your team mates, you must go to a game with the de tormina tion to win, do not try to play the whole game, be sat isfied with the referee’s rules, and if not captain be :ood sport in athletics, have friends and be liked considerate rwith good sportsmanshiplike feelings. of him. and last but not least win and lose Martha Langheidt H8 Thelma Kunz H8 GIRLS TAKE NOTICE l COa tne and red ties.

The commissioners are even far stricter during assents bly periods. No student is allowed to talk from the tirn he leaves his class-room, until he is back there again g after the assembly. If anyone disobeys this, he must payE the penalty of remaining after school, £ But, there are as many do ' s as there are don ' t s H p concerning this. fc ifH ' M If you should happen to be disobeying a rule, or, some commissioner believes you have, although you have not; do not cause a riot by refusing to give your name. Give your name quietly, and, you will soon find that if you were not disobeying the rule, you will be safe, I rfl There are many who disobey the rules, but there are jfemany more who obey them. Those who do obey them, will .-finally see that they are the lucky ones, and will soon | f|find, that they have the position of a commissioner who jiias lost- his. Those who do right, and, obey all rules, will find that they are making a good name for Burbank, while those c Jwho refuse to obey, will bring down the standard of Bur- bank, Although it is easy to disobey a rule, we find that it is easier to obey them, thus, we all should be foie to follow in the foot steps of our leader, Luther urbank, Martha Carlson H8| THE QUALIFICATIONS OF A SCHOOL COMMISSIONER A commissioner should have a clean record in the g classroom and also on the playground. By a clean record S I mean, have a good character and clean habits. If he £ talks, cheats and does not play the game squarely he is not the boy for the job. He should be a good judge as tow U j whet her he should pinch the offender or not.

The boys were experienced ' --players and played an excellent game — backing up their pitcher in fine style. Several of the boys batted better ilthan 350. Roy Sabine headed the list, batting 600. The iteam won all of its games by good scores. They defeated ‘Garfield in two games, shutting them out 7-0 in the last. iEdison was defeated twice and -Til lard once. Also Emery- iville and Roosevelt found themselves at the short end of the score. Roy’s work at first base was spectacular.

Burbank won two games out of nine that were played, girls worked hard. In many cases they outplayed the teams from the other junior high schools, even though the other school teams may have made the highest score. The earns as well as the girls of the school who witnessed t Karnes showed the finest of good sportsmanship. A greater interest than ever before was shown in th class basket ball games. Most of these games were play , off after the inter-mural basket ball season closed. An ' girl who had clayed on one of the school teams was not permitted to play on her class team. This made the clase competition much more uniform and gave more girls in the school a chance to make either the school team or her class team. Mrs. Schonberg divided the classes up into three leagues, a ninth grade, an eighth grade and a seventh grade league. This permitted every ninth gr ' de team to play against every other ninth grade team. The Plan was carried out with tfye eighth and seventh grade teams.

Reading worth-while books is one of the most valuable ways of spending one’s •leisure. The mind should be exercised just like all the OJ auscles in the body. This can be done by reading worth- wnile books. They will also increase one’s vocabulary. . ' ' They also on un give one a little knowledge of the things going in the world.

Perhaps on the very top there is snow. Through all kinds of weather it stands there, sturdy and strong, green and purple a- gainst a blue sky. How small we seem compared to this mountain, but when we are on the top of the mountain, how much higher than the rest of the world we seemi When we leave the view what thoughts do wo carry in our hearts? A resolve to be strong and sturdy, always, in all kinds of weather — like the mountain. Anna Sorensen H9 A LESSON IN PERSEVERANCE Perseverance is a word that means much in life. It is one of the most vital qualities of one who wants to be a success. It is a word that only a win- ner can appreciate; a quitter has no use for perse- verance. If the boys of America would realize that perseverance in an honorable task will finally re- sult in success, our country would bo peopled with happy and proserous citizens. The path of persever- ance is not easy. You may struggle and feel that you are playing a losing game, but suddenly you gain new strength md vigor, for you know that you are on the right path. If you haive perseverance no object will be too hard to conquer, for victory will rest with you. John Schroth L9 RESPECT FOR LAW Any citizen of the United States or of rny. oth- er nation respects the laws of the country. If he does not he is punished. Anyone who breaks a law can never be a good citizen. The same applies to the students in our school and other schools also. If a student receives good marks, but does not re- spect the rules, he is not a good citizen. The stu- dent who obeys the rules but does not receive high grades in his subjects, is a much better citizen. If a student does not obey the rules he should be punished. Alice Gustafson H9. A FLYING FOOL BECOMES A HERO s Charles Lindbergh is now called a hero, but as we well know, before he made his famous flight, he was called The Flying Fool. 11 For many years he dreamed of being the first person to hop” from New York to Paris. Finally the day came when the n Spirit of St. Louis took the air, and the daunt- less commander bade farewell” to his assembled friends. The flight is now world history; its out- come was that The Flying Fool became Lucky Lindy. He had confidence, courage, training, and scientific knowledge for a background. These are always valu- able aids to accomplishment. As a parting thought we express the wish that Providence may spare our hero to us to be the inspir- ation of the school children. Lena Fausone L9 PLAYING THE GAME SQUARELY I think that we should all like to say after we have lived our life: I have played the game square- ly from beginning to end. We cannot say this unless we begin now. Mistakes become much larger in the future because we realize what they mean. Particu- larly in our school life we have a chance to play the game squarely I haven ' t done my homework; may I copy yours? is a familiar phrase. It is hard to face the teacher with no homework, but it is better than using some one else ' s. The person that did your homework for you isn ' t going to follow you a- round all your life to assist you every time you come to a difficulty. A game that is played fairly is enjoyed more.

Lucille Clark L9 THE STORM The night was dark and gloomy, The clouds loomed deep and gray, The wind raced through the tree tops, All foretold a stormy day. Soon a long, white flash of lightning, Darted through the dismal sky, The rain poured down in torrents blind, The whole world seemed to sigh. Elmer Bloom L9 THE TENDERER Softly, sadly, on the wooded hills, Retracing his steps by nooks and rills, Wanders the outcast of his tribe, With copper skin and anguished eyes, A banished Indian of gigantic size, But stooped in sorrow and despair. With a dreamy expression upon his face, He recalls the chvs when he ruled his race; And rode o’er the land with stately pride; In those distant days his power was great, But what of that now? He has thought too late The knife plunged deep and so he died. Thelma Kunz LS AUTUMN I wander in the woods of painted brown; The air is sweet and pure from morning dew. I hear the wood folk chattering here and there The little brook a-murmuring round the bend On its onwa.rd journey to the sea below. I wander over hills so steep and high; So bare and dry are they with treeless slopes. I sit and watch the world outspread below, But nothing can I see, and nothing hear. How different now . It seems a, lifeless plain. Victor Wick strom H9 WONDERING 7;hy do children wonder so? What is sleep, when do we grow? Questioning will do no good, For no one seems to know. I wonder how the birds ca.n fly And never, never fall, And how the serpents closely lie And can do naught but crawl • I wonder how the horses talk. They do not often neigh; Yet I know that big, black Bob To Don has much to say - v Ruth Gannon L9 3 err ft U J OUT INTO THE MORNING Getting up at three in the morn, Even under your mother ' s scorn, In October, the starriest month of all, It is great to hear your alarm clock ' s call l Then out into the cold crisp air, Not even shopping to comb your hair, As you take one look up at the sky •7ith the dew of the morn in your eye. How would one of you like to be Out in the cold gray dawn with me? Francis James H9 OUT OF THE FOG The fog is lifting from the world. All flags are gracefully unfurled, As Peace incarnate soreads her wings And over all exultant sings. In sootless white she chants her song Of victory. She knows no wrong. A phantom figure, clad in black, Ho more shall undisputed sack But hasten back to a realm of sin; No more shall he, a conoueror, win; Covered with blood of innocent creatures, He dare not show his awful features, For now the fog is lifting from the world! Evelyn LaMont H9 THE CALL OF THE SEA The deeo blue sea is calling me Away from my home and family. The fog rolls in at the end of the day To hide my little ship away. In the darkness down along the shore Ky crew is waiting with ready oar; My men arc calling that glad refrain: To hoist away the anchor chain. The crew work on with no delay, To set the sails by dawn of day The man at the wheel bursts into song Just as the cook rings the dinner gong. Off on the voyage my ship glides on — . J--, 1 . U (Gj i U 1 _cL, 2J t 4 A VISIT TO SANTA CLAUS I am a fairy sorite. My name is Good Luck. I am going on an airplane flight from California to the cold north land where good old Santa lives. I am going in an airplane called the Marybelle. I found out that the people who own it are going to Alaska, so I decided to visit Santa, as he lives near the Eskimos. There is a croxvd in the field where we take off. There is much cheering and shouting. At last we are offi Hurrah. 1 How good it feels to he moving so swiftly through the cool air. We rise higher and higher every second. The oeoole in the Marybelle do not know I am riding with them. But I know they would he very glad if they only knew Good Luck was aboard. It is night and everything is very dark. Part of tpe crew are asleep while the rest stay uo and keen watch. There is not a sound, except the whirr- ing of the engine. But hark l What is that small, black shadow approaching me? Probably only a cloud. But no, a cloud would not move like that. Ahi It has come closer. Heavens’. It is my old enemy, the Black Goblin.” 3ad luck is aboard the Maryoelle , my friends. Beware’. I wonder how he knew I was here anyway. I was very careful to make myself in- visible. Oh dear, why did I ever come on this trip? But I will do my best to help my friends. Another day has passed. No sign of bad luck yet. I’ll bet that he is hatching seme dreadful plan though. If it has taken him this long, it must be a horrible plan. Horrors upon horrors’. I knew something like this would happen. If I could only lay my hands on that bad- luck goblin, it wo uld be hie end. But he is too sly and crafty for me. I am in his power. Lol The sky is getting blanker and blacker every minute. The thunder I hear has warned the people a- board. Now angry red flashes of lightning are streaking the black sky. Oh dear me, the rain is coming down in torrents. We’re in for a dreadful, long storm all right. Oh, how I hope this rain drowns that good-for-nothing goblin. All he does is to bring trouble to good people. What is happening? The plane is falling l Oh that goblin’. He must have done something to the en- gine too. The pilot has lost control of the plane. All hope is lost. Even I cannot help them. The do- ings of the black goblin are beyond my power, and he knows it. I can hear the slashing and clashing of the angry waves as they roll and toss in the storm. Now we have struck the water torn the Marybelle apart. The angry waves What have I here? At least I am saf e nave Oh, The can. o 01 us • it is a piece of the wing. waves cannot hurt me, even if the black goblin What is that in the distance? A tiny ray light? It is a boat and it is coming towards The others have seen it also, for they are shouting as loudly s.s their strength will permit them. It is corning very swiftly. It must have seen the white flag of distress I am waving. I see a row boat com- ing towards us with eight or ten men in it Two or three other row boats are following. As we are a- bout to sint:, the men lift us into the boats and row us back to the schooner. The black goblin is no- where to be seen. He is invisible against the black- ness of the night. But he will reach the boat safe- ly. Trust him to do that. Well, I succose that I must try again. Evelyn Me Go Horn L9 MEETING PAN I was sitting on a hill one day, looking at the scenery around me. All at once I realized that I was not looking at the same scenery. Everything had changed. The hill ? as much higher and a greater num- ber of trees grew there. Instead of its being a lit- tle cast noonday, it was now a moonlight night. Below me was a valley filled with ruins. Sit- ing on what had once been a magnificient oillar was a curious person. He acceared to be very old. His matted hair disclosed two horns. The lower oortion of his body was that of a goat. He was claying queer, beautiful, music on a shepherd’s oioe. All around him danced wood-nynohs. these I recognized by their dresses of leaves. I erect closer to ob- serve him. I recognized him as Pan of whom I had read so much. I called to him. He turned and, see- ing me, he jumped up and scampered away. Anna Sorensen H9 A TRIP TO MUSICLAND W hile Barbara and I were sitting on the beach listening to the murmuring song of the sea, Old Wind blew by us and asked us if ere would take a trie with him to Musi eland, and it was with readiness that we acccoted his invitation. First we flew on Old Wind’s back to the wonder- ful land of Italy. Here we met Tony, claying on a mandolin, while his little friend, Lena, hummed some of the tunes that Verdi had copied from the birds. From here we made our way to France. In one of Paris 1 largest opera houses we listened to Bizet’s opera., Carmen. It was sung in French, but so fas- cinating was the music that we understood every word of the opera. Leaving France we dashed to merry England. Here we heard the children singing their favorite folk tunes and national songs, while they danced on the green. Beautiful were the songs they sang, and yet so different from those of Italy and France. Next we went to Germany. Here, we went down the steps of yesterday into the past. ”e met George Frederick Handel while he was at work on the Messi- ah. Robert Schumann was also there, busily humming over the many Lullabies he had already written. Al- so Felix Bartholdey Mendelssohn was engaged in writ- ing music. At that time he was composing his famous wedding March. Besides Handel, Schumann, and Mendel- ssohn we met Bach, perfecting his scale. We hurried up the steps of yesterday lest they find us peeking at them. To Poland we flew next. Here we heard the gen- ius, Ignace Jm Paderewski, He played many a song on the piano for us, and he would have played more for us, but time was swiftly passing, so we hurried on to Russia where we met Tschaikowsky , He, like Handel, Bach, Schumann, and Mendelssohn, was engross- ed in his music studies. We next saw Franz Peter Schubert, and the baby musician, Mozart, in Austria. Schubert was engaged in writing more of his hundreds of songs, while Moz- art was just completing the last of his three famous operas, Don Giovanni, The Magic Flute, and The Marriage of Figaro. As time was swiftly passing we skipped through Hungary and Norway speedily, although in Hungary we saw Liszt, while in Norway we met Grieg, who told us the story of the Peer Gynt Suite. Lastly, in Prussia we saw the town of Beetho- ven s birth, and, in spite of the time, we went back to Vienna so that we could see where this genius, the deaf musician, had died. We heard many of his . Sonatas; the one we enjoyed most was the aathetique. Then we flew home. After we returned home, Barbara and I thought over what we had heard and gathered many conslusions from it. We found out that music is one avenue to peace, for in Europe we learned to understand the nations when we heard the music of their masters. Martha Carlson L9 IN THE REALM OF NEPTUNE As we watched Aurora casting her spell u on the world, we wondered if Jupiter had planned to send Apollo with his sunshine to us on the day of our journey. Surely enough! By the time we were seated in the boat and ready to go, Apollo had arrived, and accompanying him was Zephyrus. We sailed along peacefully through the straits of Gibraltar, the gates of Hercules. Apollo had dis- appeared by this time, and in his place was Boreas with a storm. Our little boat rocked back and forth, and the water kept filling it, so that we finally sank into the waters. As we were sinking we saw Tri- ton playing furiously on his sea she ' ll. Naiads were here and there, singing and dancing as if delignted to sec us in danger of being drov ned. When we finally reached the bottom, we were ex- hausted. At a distance, we noticed a little queer, old man. When we approached more closely to him, he changed his form. We were lost, so we resolved to ask this creature where we were. He informed us that we 7 cre in the depths of the sea near Aegae in Euboea, and that his name was Proteus. We thanked him and journeyed on. Suddenly a s’ arm of dolphins and sea monsters rushed by. Four brazen-hoofed and golden-maned horses drawing a golden chariot could oe seen. .Its occupant was an old man with a crown on his white, flowing hair. In his hand was a three-pronged, soear It was Neptune returning from Juoiter s palace on Mount Olympus. When he saw us he stopoed and took us into his chariot, and on to his palace. There we met Neotune ! s wife, Amphitrite, and her attendants. They entertained us royally. Under the cover of darkness we journeyed home in Neptune s chariot with dolphins and sea monsters swarming about us. Alice Gustafson H9 A TRIP TO RADIOLAND Did you ever take a trip to Radioland? If not, you must hear of my adventures there. I started on my oerf:ctly wonderful trip early one November morn- ing. At first I thought my trip was going to be a very dull one, for when I reached a small town call- ed Zero ( on on the dial), the surroundings were enough to make one blue, and not a soul was in sight After traveling fifteen miles, I saw a man act- ing in a very oeculiar manner. His actions resem- bled those of a measuring-worm. He was bending and twisting in the most extraordinary fashion, and was always counting, 1,2., 3, now bend to the left, to the right, to the left, 1, 2, etc. I was eager to know what this meant. Soon I heard him announce Station K.F.W.K. broadcasting Health Exercises . K.F.R.C. was the next town I reached after trav eling a distance of ten or more miles. This town 7 as very peculiar. One minute I was on land, and the next I was out in the ocean at Seal Rocks (Re- mote control!). Here I was entertained by a wonder- ful musical program, with which I was pleased. I fell from a Watch tower at Seal Rock (K.F.R.C.). I had a terrible time, as I drifted with the tide, and it actually took me thirteen hours to reach land. You can imagine the horrible time I had. What do you think greeted me when I finally reached the town of K.L.X.? Lo and behold, ducks ! I What irony! Ethel Roberts L9 THE A. B. C. OF AEROPLANES Curiosity has been very generally aroused over the various types of airplanes used both in com- mercial aviation and in long distance flights. The following classification mr-.y prove interesting to our readers. Only the outstanding differences are noted: Martin Bomber — 3 motors, 2 wings, and 4 land- ing wheels. This is used by U. 8. army. De Haviland Bomber — 400 H. P. Liberty Bomber, 2 wings, 1 rudder, 1 motor, 1 rear wing, Curtiss Eagle Passenger Plane — 3 motors, 2 wings, 4 wheels. Aero-Marine Flying Boat — 2 wings with pontoon, 2 rear wings, 1 motor-boat watertight body. N C 3 Type of Hydroplane which first crossed the Atlantic ocean had 2 wings in front, 2 wings in the rear, 3 rudders, 2 motors. Monoplane — 1 wing, 1 motor, 1 rudder, 2 land- ing wheels. Biplane — 2 wings, 3 motors, 2 landing wheels, 1 rudder. □ a □ Cutest thing in all the world Sets everything in a whirl, Has blue eyes and a curl; Our baby.

Her name is Doris Jean Dan ska, And is just now learning to walk, And before many months are over, She ' ll be ready then to talk. Every morning she has a fine shower And she turns up he? pink little toes; But at noon, there ' s quite a big difference, For she ' s wiped up the floor with her clothes. In a while she gets very tired, And is ready to take a nap, She gets away with a bottle of milk, And gets it all over her map. Allan Shattuck L8 A JOY A baby is so nice and light, Just like a snow flake, very white. This baby does not know how to talk, And she has yet to learn to walk. She hasn ' t any hair at all, Nor is she very very tall. She isn r t very fat nor is she very thin, She has a cold now, and she must stay in. This is my brother ' s baby girl. She has a ring that has a pearl. Right now she is just three months old. And now the whole of my story is told. Charles Anarae L8 CHRISTMAS IN OTHER LANDS Two thousand years before Christ, people wor- shipped the sun Their belief was that the sun was born each morning, traveled over the sky, and sank to his grave at night. As the sun’s power grew less, the people were afraid the sun would be overpowered by the darkness and remain in his grave. After some months he became stronger again, and people believed he was born again, and rejoiced at the annual re- birth, and called it the Yuletide. Then, the exact date of the birth of Christ being unknown, the early Christians, wisely joined the rejoicing for His com- ing with that of the Yuletide, and so we have Christ- mas on the twenty-fifth of December. Today, in the northern countries, where the win- ter season is long and severe, the Christmas season is a time for merry-making, the merry-making often taking a more important place in the home than the religious part of the observance. In the sunny south, the religious part is most important. In no other country is Christmas celebrated us much as in Germany. It is the greatest occasion of the year. The grand festival is opened on the first day of December with bazaars, and for a week beiore the great day, loads of evergreens may be seen coming into the towns, until it seems they are for- ests of firs. Every home must have a tree, or morel The Lutherans give Martin Luther the credit for in- troducing the Christmas tree into Germany, but there is abundant evidence that it w as known before his time. Feasting, merry-making, and gifts mark the day, but, in the midst of the excitement of the lighted tree and oretty gifts, the German children seldom forget to give thanks for what they receive. They are taught that all gifts come from the Christ- Child and that the season is not one for selfish en- joyment, but to give oleasnt to others, and no one is too ooor to give pieasnt words to those around him. In some oarts of Germany it is believed tnat the cattle are blessed with the oower of speech at midnight on Christmas Eve, but, as it is considered a sin to listen, no one has reported any tales. In Czecho-Slovakia, on the fifth of December, in the evening, St. Nicholas goes to the homes and asks the parents if the children have been good. If they have, they get nuts and ancle? from the sack he carries. First, however, they must f how their school work and say a. prayer. Then they tell him what they would like for Christmas, The bad chil- dren get nothing, and sometimes St. Nicholas tries to nut them into the sack he carries and take them to the woods. Then they need to promise to be ooodi On Christmas Eve the family comes together, kneels in prayer, and, later, ham supper at a prettily dec- orated table. After supper everyone waits excitedly for the bell that usually rings when S.t. Nicholas leaves the house. Then all rush to try to catch him at his work, but he is always gone when they cornel In Switzerland the fun-making is before Christ- mas because that day must be kept ' as a holy day. About a week before Christmas Dav, you may see boys going out with funny sacks over their shoulders to give gifts to tneir friends. Toys are expensiye and much fruit is given, especially oranges. You and I would find many strange cookies and candies in a Swiss home, at Christmas time, such as we never see in America, On Christmas night two of the girls of the family often dress as angels and, standing be- hind the Christmas tree, sing carols — a very impress ive part of the Christmas observance. In Finland we would find a custom that would seem very strange to us. After all the Christmas preparations are completed, the people take a Christ mas sauna (steam bath). Then they eat a big Christ- mas dinner and sing, read, dance or give little plays. When it is about three or four o ' clock in the morning they go to church and stay there until about eleven o ' clock. The day is very short, be- cause the sun shines but a very short. time in this far northern land at Christmas time, but in all the windows lamps or candles b urn; and everywhere there is happiness. Lighted trees and laughter, gifts and good cheer, drive dreariness away and no one minds the cold while gathered around a crackling fire. In Sweden the baking for a well-ordered house- hold is a matter of great importance and is usually begun at least two weeks before Christmas. Bread is made of rye and wheat flour, raised over night, then rolled very thin and cut into discs twelve or four- teen inches in diameter, with a hole in the center. After baking, these are strung on sticks and left to dry under the beams of the baking room. The Christ- mas mush is considered one of the chief dainties of the Christmas feast. It is rice, boiled a long time in milk, and seasoned with salt, cinnamon and sugar, and eaten with cream. The Christmas fish is to the Swede what the Christmas turkey is to the American, or the roast beef is to the Englishman. The fish used resembles the cod. It is buried for days in wood ashes, or soaked in soda water, then boiled and served with milk gravy. In Italy Christmas is not a time of gift giving and jolly good times because there it is a holy sea- son and everyone attends church. If you were an Italian girl or boy you would have no Christmas tree nor would you watch for Santa Claus to fill your stocking. At Christmas time you would enjoy your_ Presepio 1 (a model of the Holy Family or some holy scene) and about a week after Christmas you would be watching for the coming of Befana.” Befan? is a little old lady. It is s?id that while she was sweeping her house, three kings rode by and said, Bring your gifts to our little Bambino Gesu (the Christ-Child) • n She did so but she w- ' o too late, so she gave her gifts to the good children and gave bits of charcoal to the bad children.

Hagedom is a story of a small boy who read about great men. He wanted not be another George Lincoln; he could onl to be like them but he could Washington nor another Abraham y be himself. By determination this boy rose from a ” Rough Rider” to the president • of the United States. Theodore Roosevelt had energy. He was a quick thinker and never a quitter. He was eager to know things and was always a game loser. He loved children. His spirit will always live in the hearts of his countrymen. Another hero who belongs in the Hall of Fame is David Livingstone. He spent his life doing for others. He went to Africa to free the negro slaves. He was a pioneer, an explorer, a scientist, a doctor and a missionary. ”The Story of David Livingstone” by G. Golden is no ordinary wonder tale. It is filled with hairbreath escapes — a lion rushed at him and — but you will have to read the book. Merle Bedell, Jesse Brewer H8 JOAN OF ARC A slim steadfast girl of seventeen will also be remembered by all nations for her devotion to her Cod and to her country. Joan of Arc was great be- cause she was pure. She had a simple faith but she was loyal to her country. She lived many many years ago yet she will never be forgotten When she was just a little girl she heard about the wrongs done to her country Joan decided to help right these wrongs. The Maid of Orleans” by Edith Horton tells how she did this Irene Pulvemulier HS The last hero on our list is the most interest— ing of all. Few men have been recognized as heroes before their death. Few men have won greatness while still boys. Charles A. Lindbergh has done more than this, he has been honored by the whole world yet he remains unspoiled. He has united the nations of Europe with America Everywhere he went ho won the crowds with his modesty and sincerity. He has received business offers from movie directors, newspaper editors and advertising firms but he has refused them all. The New York to Paris flight was made to help aviation ana not to make money . ”TTe n that simple two letter word means Charles A.

It took Columbus sixty-nine days to cross the Atlantic and the Pilgrims were sixty-six days, while Lindbergh made the trip in thirty-three hours.

II it The H8 Class — — «r� - THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE Thursday afternoon September 22 the H7 M and H7 ,M1 classes presented to the student body an his- torical play entitled the “Declaration of Inde- pendence.” This play was not presented merely to entertain the school, but to impress upon them more deeply a realization of the heroism of our colonial forefathers. Ne must remember that in declaring their independence our forefathers expressed the sentiment of true democracy for all people. The first act took place in the rooms of the Committee of Safety where a group of distinguished men were discussing the severe problems of the Revo- lutionary : 7ar. To the left of the stage was the tow- er of North Church. In this tower hung the light which was to guide Paul Revere. There was still another desperate meeting tak- ing place in the State House at Philadelphia. This was the meeting of the Second Continental Congress. This meeting was really a debate on points for and against the Declaration of Independence. The climax came when the liberty bell pro- claimed their decision and bells throughout the city echoed the glad tidings. A large group of people assembled outside the State House and re- joiced over the decision which meant their inde- pendence .

DeLaRoi H9 MUSIC IK THE SCHOOL 11 Show me the home wherein music dwells, and I shall show you a happy, peaceful, and contented home. One of our great educators has recently said that music is an important feature in every man, wom- an, and child, who means to be cultivated, efficient and happy Music is often considered a fad and not truly educational. In consequence, many Americans have grown up without enjoying and appreciating this art. In order to repair this loss, the responsibili- ty of teaching music has been laid upon the schools, where it is being well taught, although it belongs equally to the home. Children should be surrounded with beautiful sights and sounds, and should listen to good music, and before entering school, should be taught to sing. There must be a careful choice of songs, as all songs will not do. • ;: e should learn as many songs as possible, not those that die in one season, but those that are considered as real songs, those that never grow old. Thes e songs contain good poetry and real music. After several years of singing of ballads, ve are sure to have a strongly developed musical instinct. We all h.ve a voice, and whether remarkable for strength or sweetness, or neither, we should strive to cultivate it. As one of our great music critics said: A woman or man that connot sing is like a flower without perfume. Ethel Roberts L9 BURBANK ORCHESTRA We have in Burbank School a very fine orchestra. It is conducted by Mr. Victor Schott, In the past year the orchestra has been helping to put over the musical programs at entertainments. To be a member of the orchestra is a real privilege. You learn to work together. In the orchestra no one student is responsible for all the work. awarded to the f ollowing girls in Mrs. W a .ugh ' s class Claire Soo, Clara Silva, Minna. del Howsman, Helen Prcpp, Adelaide Sncalada, Helen Moniz, Charlotte Green, Annie Carlina, Florence Silva and Katherine Shirley. Every class in the eighth grade league played five games . Out of this number, the L8 class won one game, the L8 n ’ won one, the L3 won two, the HQ 1 won two and the H8 n won four. Gold stars or numer- als, were awarded the following girls in Miss Gil- k o Evelyn srjcer Margaret bert’s class: Ive.

The series between the H9 and L9 was exceptionally well played. It was won by the H9 boys. The out-standing players for the win- ners were Louie Casciani, Robert Hughes and Roy Sabine. George Rambke, Arnold Viramontes and George Corso featured for the L9 ' s. The following boys won their numerals and stars in volley ball: S. Nelson, C. Bowers, A. Schmidt, 1. Olsen, R. Sabine, H. Strzelecki, L. Casciani, H. Goodyear, T. Jarvis, R. Barnes, R. Stitt, F. Guarneri V. V ickstrom. SOCCER This year we tried out a new system for inter- class soccer. Each section of the class had its own soccer team and division teams played the first round. Many of these games were hotly contested and resulted in many ties. These tie games had first to be plaved off before they could get started on the final class games. The L7 , L7 � , L7 � � , L7 ' ,,MM , group defeated the L7 ' , L7 M , L7 M 1 , and also the H7” 1 and K7 n n end went into the final with the L3’ and L8 n who had won the L8 class contests. In the up- per division the K8 n ’ survived all games and went in- to the final contest against the L9 , L9 , L9 n 1 . The L9’s finally won. It was a very exciting series with many close games. The H8 ,M , met the H9 T , H9 n , H9 1 three times twice playing 0-0 ties and finally winning 1-0. Each class elected a referee 7 ho handled the games of the division other than his own. Thus the boys had complete control of their games and gained much training in the handling of the games. The following boys, acted as referees and did splendid work: Louie Casciani, Guido Agrusa, Arnold Viramontes, and George Corso. The following boys of the L7 n , L7 n , L7 M,,,f , L7 Ufl 11 f , divisions won the lower divisions soccer championship by defeating the L8 1 , L8 M , and will re- ceive their numerals: W.

Their posture showed a large improvement and the marching was much better than a year ago. Keep up the good work. The games between the boys and girls — that fol- lowed the formal work — were all won by the boys. The following boys won their numerals and stars in the class relays: A. Kroll, V« Larsen, W.

We did this so that the H9 boys would have an opportunity to play inter-class basket ball If we had followed the usual procedure and started after the Christmas holidays, they would have been graduated and thus out of it. The boys are keen for it. They have always felt that we were rather late in starting. Again they have something to keep them pepped up and busy until Christmas. Most of our unlimited boys graduate at Christmas so it means that we must build a new team next year. However we are hopefuls The boys turned out in large numbers and we had many very good games.

The traffic system that has been organized this term is a great improvement over the former bustle and noise. I am sure any one visiting our school would comment on the perfect or- der. Traffic officers are recognized by red strips around their arms. These officers must have a good reputation for behavior. They are newly appointed every few weeks, so many pupils have a chance to serve. Now no one runs, no one talks, for if he does he pays. The penalty is usually forty minutes. Sometimes Miss Truman has an engagement with the person for several nights and it is very probable that he will not commit the same offense the second time. When classes are being changed the traffic is so heavy that if a boy is in a hurry the best thing for him to do is to go outside and run along the side walk. Were it not for traffic rules, several peoole 7 ouid probably be knocked down and perhaps be hurt badly in the mad rush for the cafeteria at lunch time. Everybody now keens to the right, and there is not as much confusion, as if everyone took the shortest way. H9 Class from the Burbank Junior High School, There are a- bout seventy girls in all. These girls are divided into four groups according to their grades Meet- ings are held weekly at their club house, ” The Shin- gle Shack” on Hearst Avenue about three blocks dis- tant from the school. Tennis is taught to the girls of the club once a week after school at the James Kenny courts. Dur- ing the rainy season swimming is taught instead of tennis. At the end of each season, tennis tourna- ments and swimming meets are held. In these meets the clubs have contests and the winners are given honors. Besides the regular meetings, they often have parties and entertainments, where all of the clubs meet together. About once a month all the clubs meet together for a hike. The tennis teacher is the chaperone and trips are made to the different parks, Grizzly Peak, Knob Hill, and many other places. A Christmas Bazaar is held at ”The Shingle Shack” and many handy articles are sold. Nearly all of the articles are made by the girls of the club. Mrs. Telfer, a woman who is very fond of girls, started the club for their benefit. I am sure that all of the club members appreciate Mrs. Telfer s ef- forts. Lucille Clark L9 Our high school has one of the best cafeterias in Berkeley. It is self-supporting, but is not oper- ated for profit. Each dish is sold for five cents and is not only generous in quantity but excellent in quality. The menus are arranged daily to give varied and appetizing meals. A child may obtain a substantial, wholesome, warm lunch for fifteen cents. Many students who bring lunches from home go to the cafeteria during the noon hour and eat at the com- fortable tables. Sometimes they buy a bowl of hot soup or a meat and vegetable dish to round out their rneal. Although the domestic science teacher super- vises the cafeteria and the cooking classes help pre- pare and serve the food, it receives no financial support from the school funds. Careful planning and estimating enables the department to sell the food at a low cost and yet avoid loss. Also the close connection with the domestic science classes gives the girls excellent experience and practical lessons in food study. To the mothers: Your child needs warm, whole- some food in order to do his best at school. Send your child to the Burbank Cafeteria. Emmalyn Lueckfeld L9 For aesthetic training and practical usefuless every girl should take sewing. Seldom does one take the time to realiae the possibilities of such train- ing. In the sewing class, beauty of color and of line is emphasized. When girls make their own clothes, they are usually of a better grade material. They also fit better because they can be made in any style that is wanted. The cost of the garment will be less and it will be made better, for the sewing on ready-made clothing is usually very poor. A respect for materials is also cultivated. A certain discrimination in taste is developed and one learns to judge between the good and the poor in man- ufactured weaves. Respect also entails more than discrimination; it excites admiration. You can ap- preciate the labor in their composition, the effect in the finished form, and the possibilities of com- bining materials. Sewing also leads to service. Few of us real- ize how much others are in need of clothing, espec- ially those who are sending large families to school. One feels even happier in sewing for others than for oneself. It is an inspiration to sew for others, for we know that we are doing something which will not be forgotten in a day. The clothing department is also a benefit to the school in many ways. When plays are given, costumes are needed. The clothing department is then requested to make costumes. In the shops the boys need aprons with which to keep themselves clean. Again the clothing department meets the situation, in making a- prons for shop use. Many girls also sew on garment? for social service. Thus the girls who do not wish to make things for themselves, make them for others. Alice Gustafson, Toine Sundman, Eileen Johnson H9 The purpose of the Archery Club is to interest the boys of our school in a clean, interesting sport. At present the club has eight members with Mr. Will- iams as advisor. Meetings are held every Tuesday and Thursday morning at 7:45 and again eighth period. The target is placed on the vacant lot at Browning and Addison Streets. The Archery Club first played Troop 10 of the Boy Scouts of East Oakland. Although the Burbank team was not the victor, an excellent score of three hundred and ninety- five was made. Burbank was more fortunate in the meeting with Garfield. Our team won with a score of four hundred and eighty to Gar- field one hundred and sixty-one. It is interest- ing to note that the boy on our team with the small- est score exceeded the highest score of Garfield. The four best archers are picked from the eight members to make the team. These are Elmer Denials, Peter Castro, Leslie Lindstrom, and Walter Harrison. It is to be hoped that more boys will be interested in joining the club next year. Gladys Corley H9 KODAK CLUB The Burbank Kodak club takes photographs of school activities for the Wizard, Its members ren- der many similar services for various school organi- zations or at private requests. The members are u- sually chosen from the High Eighth grade. These students make a study of photographs, take photo- graphs, develop films and prints, and keep on record the negatives of all photographs taken at the Burbank school during the past six years. If pupils have no kodak of their own, they are permitted to use the school kodak, but must pay for the films used. The headquarters of this club is Room 18, the Science Room. Julius Goranson L9 THE AMERICAN JUNIOR RED CROSS The first National Director of the American, Jun- ior Red Cross was Mr. Arthur P. Dunn.. It was started in 1918 when the children of Eu- rope were suffering. The children in schools of America sewed and made layettes for the babies of Europe and made clothes for the larger children. They also started writing letters to get ac- quainted. The children of Europe spoke a different language. They could not read our letters and when they wrote ue we could not read theirc, so translat- ors translated our letters and theirs too. The children of California are sending Christ- mas boxes to Guam this year. Among the gifts are dolls, beads, marbles, toothpaste, and so forth. The girls of the high schools have turns going to the Day 2s T ur series during Christmas rime and amusing the children. There ia a Junior Red Cross Magazine which is issued every month except when there is no school. It is fifty cents a year for the magazine. If the children of a school want to be members of the Junior Red Cross and share the Red Cross Magazine, they must contribute two cents a year and they re- ceive a membership button. Each school has a representative and once a month they meet at the Berkeley High School. Clarke Bowers is the representative of our school. The three mottos of the Junior Red Cross are: Friendship, Health and Service. Their tenth anni- versary will be in 1928. The special activities of our school this year are: Securing our membership to the American Junior Rod Cross, sending jams and jellies made by the household science classes, to the veterans in the hospital and making Thanksgiving cards. These Thanksgiving cards were made by the drawing classes. memory calendar The first school assembly was held on September 8. The pupils of Burbank School were entertained by an Admission Day program presented by the H7 1 and. H7 ,M classes. The program consisted of some Spanish California folksongs, several stories of California history, and the dramatization of the celebrations on the first admission day. We were very fortunate to have }! r . C. T. Helms, the suoer intendent of the Richmond scnools, with us on September 15. He told us of nis tour and impres- sions of Europe, stressing the differences between the people of Europe, and of America. Trie H7 and the H7 classes supplied the enter- tainment for the asseinbly meeting on September the 28. A play was presented snowing the Signing of the Declaration of Independence, the Ride of Paul Revere, ana tne Rejoicing of the People, wnicn ended witn the dancing of tne minuet. The girls ' m eeting in the auditorium, Sept. 2S, was in charge of Millie Lofaso, tne President of tne Girls 1 Association. After sne welcomed tne low sev- enth girls to Burbank, the Tumbling Club presented some stunts and try-outs were held for yell leader. The program closed witn a few words from hiss Mac- Donald about the Girl xRe serve Club. On tne same day, tne boys gathered in the gym- nasium. The entertainment was in the nature of a musical, selections being played by tne Burbank Band and by soloists, hr. Shepherd gave a demonstration of archery. A few words about music were added by Mr. Preston. Tne L9 Class presented two splendid one-act plays on October 13, The Lost Silk Hat and Tne Dress Renearsal of Hamlet. Both plays were come- dies and lived up to their guarantee as mirth-makers. Mr. Lea, the famous circus clown, performed many tnrilling and comical tricks for us at our Sur- prise program, Oct. 20. He almost succeeded in his attempt to make acrobats out of some of our boys. Let ' s have some more entertainments planned by Mr. Preston. The semi-annual Jinx was held on October 27 under the direction of the Physical Education Depart- ment. Both the boys’ and girls’ programs were excep- tionally fine. At the close of the programs, a dance was enjoyed by the student body, the music being furnished by Burbank students The Physical Education Field Day Program, Nov. 4, consisted of posture and development excercises, the Finnish Reel, arm drill, class relay races, class posture parade and volley ball games. The L8 ! are the proud winners of the relay race and the H8 class is very proud of the posture parade banner it won. The Character Parade, which took place on Nov. 9, was a new and interesting event. The pupils who came in costumes represented characters from books which they had read. That the best costumed boy was Felix Capellino and the best girl was Carin Carlson was decided by the judges. A short Thanksgiving Operetta was given for the Student Body by the L8 classes on Nov. 28. The pro- gram was enjoyed by all. Kerrnit Jorgensen, Loira Bianucci Thelmo Bianucci, Daisy Strachan Frances Henry, Leslie Lindstrom Marie Despinoy, Helen Saleh Dorothy Peterson H8 LOW SEVEN GRADE ASSEMBLIES On September 2, the first Low seven Assembly was held. Candidates from the various classes made their campaign speeches for the presidency of the Low Seven Classes. A short program was rendered by various people from the different classes. Then Mr. Preston led in saluting of the flag The second Assembly of the Low Seven was held September 16. Betty S. Catterton was elected pres- ident of the Low Seven classes. She was introduced and then conducted the meeting. The program consist- ed of songs by the Low Sevens led by Miss Gilbert; several accordian solos, and a very interesting talk from Mrs. Violet Richardson Ward, supervisor of Physical Education of Berkeley. The program ended with the assembly saluting the flag and the singing of America. On October 7, the L7 entertained. After selec- tions by the Burbank Band the class presented, A Chapter from California’s History,” and rendered sev- eral musical numbers. On October 14, the 07””” class entertained by presenting a little play called, Cabbages and Kings; The Burbank Orchestra played several selections. Af- ter the play a Berkeley fireman talked to the school about how school children can help to prevent fires. The L7”’ class entertained us on October 21 by rendering a program of recitations, stunts and mu- sical selections. Antone De Gennero gave a very clever and amusing representation of The Black Crows” and the entire class sang, Love’s Old Sweet Song. There were no Low Seven Assemblies in November on account of Armistice Day, Field Day, Book Week and Thanksgiving, but the Low Seven grades celebra- ted these special events with the rest of the school. Our final program on December 9, which proved to be very interesting, consisted of a short Christ- mas play, and several dances as well as Christmas songs given by the L7’ class. We have enjoyed our Low Seven Assemblies, but all of us are glad to look forward to the upper grade assemblies next year.

At that time the faculty consisted of only elev- en teachers besides Mr. Preston, our principal, re- ferred to in those days as Pop. Of this original faculty only three teachers remain: Miss Gilbert, Miss Martin, and Miss Cameron. At present, due to the increased enrollment, there are besides the principal, thirty-one full- time teachers and six part-time teachers. In 1916, the total number of pupils was 328. This term the student body numbers 733. When the school was moved from Franklin to its new quarters, Mr. Loura and Mrs. Serpas were trans- planted along with the flowers. No wonder the plants bloom so gayly and the rooms and halls look so spick and span. Dorothy Mealley H9 OUR SUPERINTENDENT RESIGNS Mr. H. B. Wilson has resigned his position as Superintendent of the Berkeley Public Schools to ac- cept the position of National Director of the Amer- ican Junior Red Cross. Mr. Wilson was offered the directorship because he has been particularly active in Junior Red Cross work and has tried to keep the organization active since the close of the World War. This ends our superintendent ' s thirty-fifth year of service. He spent nine and one-half years of this time as superintendent of our schools. Dur- ing this time the Berkeley public school system has grown until it ranks high among other public school systems of the United States. It is with regrret we bid our superintendent rood-by. We wish him success in his new work. We realize that he is highly qualified for this service because of his great sympathy and understanding of school children. Alecia Voekel H9 THE FACULTY LUNCHEON On January 26, the faculty gave a luncheon in honor of Superintendent Wilson and Miss Mary Con- cannon. The tables were attractively decorated with yellow flowers and yellow candles in silver candle- sticks. Miss Concannon has been in Junior Red Cross work ever since she resigned her position at Burbank She was at first Director of the Pacific Division of Junior Red Cross with an office in San Francisco. She then became director of the work in the Philip- pines. Later, she was a Representative of the Leagu of Red Cross Societies at Paris. Miss Concannon is now connected with the Red Cross in San Francisco. Later she will probably be sent to Washington, D. C. where she will take up. her work under the director- ship of Mr. Wilson. f Frances Henry L9 OUR NEW TEACHERS Mrs. Murphy, our new gymnasium teacher, is a graduate of the University of California. She was a student of Miss Elizabeth Burchnell and Mrs. Violet Richardson Ward. Mrs. Murphy was a teacher at the Washington School before she came to us. She is pleased with her work here. Two of our best characteristics, she says, are good sportsman- ship and cooperation. In fact, Mrs. Murphy has paid us the highest compliment by saying that she would not trade jobs with anyone. Our other new teacher is Mr. Eby. He is the boys’ counselor and science teacher. He was gradu- ated from. the University of California in 1919. He went over seas and fought in the army during the. World War. He took graduate work at the University of Edinburgh and at the University of California. For the past eight years he he ; s been in educational work both as a teacher and as a superintendent. Last term he taught at Edison. He, likes Burbank very much. The pupils here are more interested in music than those in other schools. He particularly notes the cooperation be- tween the pupils and teachers. Thelma 0 Keefe, Roy Price H9 NEWS OF FORMER TEACHERS Miss Lucile Friedman has spent the past year at her home in Hailey, Idaho. In. May she expects to start with some friends on a trip to Europe. May she have a very thrilling tripl Mrs. Franklin Bagnall is keeping house in Bakersfield for her husband, who is an engineer in one of. the oil fields nearby. She says that she feels like Cleopatra because she lives on Nile Street . Mrs. Richard Car rick (Mabel P. Webber) is ide- ally happy in her new home in Vancouver where her husband is a hydraulic engineer. From her windows she can see the mountains and all the English ships coming into port. A few weeks ago she started to feed the. sea gulls, and now hundreds of them flock into her yard. Mrs. Edith Morse Schonberg is. keeping house at her new home at Bayside, Long Island. She has en- joyed her first winter in the East. She is still an enthusiastic hiker. Mrs. Virginia Royles Martin is the happiest mother in the world.

The members of the graduating class may not be- lieve that they are examples to any one, but there is always someone who looks to us for guidance. Some one will follow our example. Therefore we should be careful that we set good examples. If we are not good losers in games or other ac- tivities, some one will imitate us and we will be re- sponsible for their actions. In almost every way, the graduating pupils are the leaders of the school. The reputation of the school is based upon their conduct and reputation. When we go to another school, people judge the school we came from, by what we seemingly have learned there. Elynore Reed K9 A HIGH NINE PROJECT The ninth grade civics classes are drawing plans for a boys’ lunch counter which will be built soon near the Science Building. At present, they are calling it ’’the project” because they have not decided on a name for it. Boys’ Pop Inn is the fa- vorite name with the students. The purpose of this lunch counter is to have a place for the boys to lunch, built and run by boys. The work was started by the high nine four civics class but, since they are graduating the first of June and will not be able to finish the project, the oresent low nine civics classes are going to complete the building. They plan to finish before Decem- ber 1928. The boys and girls who wish to work on the pro- ject volunteer to do so. They select the committee with whom they wish to work. There are eight commit- tees: The foundation, the floor, the elevations, the roof and fixtures committees. The pupils make trips to lumber yards, talk with carpenters and con- tractors, and inspect buildings which are being built. They do this work to find out the amount, grade, and cost of materials needed. All this infor- mation is reported to the class. After discussion, the class decides on what is best to accept. The plans are now ready for the blue printing. The pu- pils of the committees spend forty minutes daily on their work. The remaining part of the class work in the text book and report to the project group; so both groups will understand the text book and the proj ect . Lena Carlevaro, Leasa Guelfo L9 THE ORATORICAL CONTEST The high nine one class has been busy perfect- ing a project of their own. They have worked togeth- er and received all the information possible concern- ing The Outlawry of War. 1 Several students partici- pated in writing essays from the material found by the class, and on Friday, March 9, tryouts for an oratorical contest were given. The judges selected John Schroth of that class to represent Burbank in a preliminary contest to be held the following Tuesday in the First Presbyterian Church of Berkeley. The international contests of these kinds, are sponsored by the National Council for the Prevention of War of Washington, D.C. A bronze medal is award- ed to the winner of each preliminary contest who competes in state contests, and the winner from each state compete for the national prizes. Five others participated in the contest, all from the Berkeley High School. They were Walter Felthouse, Roderick Mays, George Newhall, Walter Woodfill, and Fred Stripp, president of the debating class of that school. John Schroth spoke on The Outlawry of War , and the high school boys spoke on Permanent Peace through Treaties Outlawing War. All of the speeches were well given, and the bronze medal was finally presented to Walter Wood- planned to make everyth ng harmonious. As the play was supposed to take place in a happy, prosperous village, the scenes and lighting were made to give that effect. The construction work of the stage sets and v ork of that sort was done by shop boys, while paint- ing, designs, and color schemes were taken over by the art department. Louise Apperson H9 COSTUMES FOR THE OPERETTA The costumes used in the operetta ” In Arcady” belonged to those participating. The girls made their dresses under Miss Fisk’s supervision. The costumes were made so as to harmonize with the scene in which they were worn. The boys who were agricultural students were dressed as farmers with their gloves, tools, white shirts and dark pants. The girls in the first scene wore sport out- fits because they had just arrived in Arcady. All the dresses were very colorful, so they would show up under the stage lights. The large drooping hats that the girls wore in the first scene, were made of two shades of crepe paper blending with the color of the dress worn. In both scenes the girls were arranged so that two harmonizing colors would be side by side. For instance, a blue and a lavender or a yellow and an orange were together, but never a green and a red or a purple and a yellow. Their evening dresses were all very dainty and pretty and fitted very nicely in the last scene, as it was in the evening and they were having the big celebration then. Doris Campbell H9 Tv e are proud of the class and well may 7 r e be, For we’ve given our best to the school, We know the others will help ” carry-on n For merit and worth always rule. fill, with Roderick Mays and Fred Stripp receiving honorable mention. John Schroth received Special Mention since he was the only boy from a Junior High School to give an original essay, the other Junior High School pu- pils reciting declamations which are sent out for the pupils from Washington, D. C. Martha Carlson H9 H9 1 CIVICS CLASS HAS A CANDY SALE The H9 ,M Civics class realized the necessity of having more reference books and planned a candy sale the proceeds of which would be used for the purchase of books. Some of the candy was made by the girls and some was contributed by the boys. The girls took en tire charge of the candy sale. They were dressed in ligh t colored frocks and carried baskets decorated in bright colored crepe paper. Needless to say they sold their candy. The proceeds of the candy sale were $9.20. The boys added $1.50 to the fund, that they made in the checking room of which they had charge during one of the school plays. Lena Fans one H9 AN ART PROJECT All of the stage scenes and settings for 11 In Arcady” were made by the high ninth grades in draw- ing and training under the direction of Mrs. Most. The classes used their drawing periods to do this work. The designs and scene pls.cings were tried out and judged in a mi nature stage, made by a high nine boy. This stave was built to scale, an inch to a foot on the auditorium stage. The colors of the dresses, hats, and all costumes were known, and the color schemes, setting and lighting were THE GLORIOUS SPRINGTIME Spring is here! Spring is here! The clouds are gone, and the skies are clear, The cattle and sheet) in the meadows are grazing, The number of wild flowers is really amazing. The golden sun, through the day, is our light, Then God lights His lamps, which twinkle all night. The birds now fly from their sunny home, And wing their way across the azure dome. The bluebird olans and builds his nest, Getting material, the softest and best. Oh, the air is filled with the joyous songs, Which to the brook and tree and bird belongs. Evelyn McCollom H3 A BEAUTIFUL SUNSET The sunset’s gold has turned the ocean’s waves to sheen; Far out, a sail boat stands against the sky. The night, descending fast, hides all from view, Only a fast faint gleam gilds clouds far up on high. The sun, though sunk from view, is traveling on — Onward and onward, oe’r strange and distant lands. They, too, must watch his slow declining ravs And see the night descend on far off coral strands. But always again, as each bright morn, the sun, Passing each day the myriad scenes of earth, Sinks to the west; lets evening come again Sunset, and shadow, and the night’s cool birth. So with our lives, the course that we must run Through many days, and years, lights all the sun Until, at dusk, the shadows fall again; Sunset, and our long toil is done. Laura Chaoman HS FIELDS OF FLOWERS As far as I could see, O’er the mead. ow s And o’er the lea, Were flowers bright, They wavered in the breeze, As do the tops Of tall slim trees In windy weather. Eunice Bolton H8 The gorse is yellow on the heath, The banks with golden flowers are g ay, The hawthorn soon will bear the wreath, The silver wreath, of May., The welcome guest of settled spring, The swallow, too, has come at last. I saw her dash with rapid wing, And hailed her as she passed. Come, sweet spring visitor, attach To my reed roof, your nest of clay; And let my ear your music catch, At the gray dawn of day. Come, little bird, with bosom red. Welcome to my humble shed; For there are domes of high degree, And plenty of room for you and me. Joe Carmelich H8 DANGER OF SPRING The last of the snow has melted, And the streams go rushing by, And now the lands have lifted, And the flowers look up to the sky. But alas it is dangerous for maidens, To wander alone in the spring, For the grass as you know, has sharp blades, And the nettles are ready to sting. So dear friends, I know that I ' m right, Listen, take heed, and obey, The flowers have pistols, the dog-wood bites, When you ' re out on a balmy spring day. Marjorie Thomas H9 After the cold winter days have passed, And the snow has melted away quite fast, The sun in full glory shines down on the earth Filling us all with joy and mirth. Trees are decked with blossoms bright and gay Flow ' rs are blooming in the month of May Brooklets flow on to the ocean so blue While the grasses are damp with fresh evening dew. Birds fill the air with songs of spring And with them too, our hearts all sing Their twittering fills the world with a joy profound And so we are sure that spring they have found. Ramona Sharrock H8 SPRING Spring is here and it is the time for planting beautiful flowers. I love to study the flowers of different kinds and shapes. The pansies are like little baby faces with their pretty blankets of velvet in all different dainty shades. In our yard we have carnations ,rT hich were red at first, We have been watching them. r .e have five different shade ' - now. Do you know ' hat caused them to change colors? ILy mother told me so I will tell you also. The bees light on the flowers and carry the yello” 7 dust called pollen on their legs and nngs , and as they light on the next flowers they drop some pollen on them and the colors change to a different shade, le should never harm a bee for they are very useful. They not only change the colors of the flowers, but they make honey for us to eat. Some -ricked boys like to kill the poor little birds just for fun, as they call it, but they also help us by keeping the insects out of our gar- den. Mother puts crumbs of bread out doors for them and you would be surprised how many birds come down to eat. We have seen birds many times collecting thread end straw to build nests for their little birds, and sometimes they hardly fly with the material the}? - pick up. We should not harm the poor little things, for it is wicked end I am sure it does not help us when we are cruel. Geraldine Barrouman 07G SPRING Comes the spring with gentle rain, Brings the flowers back again, Birds are singing in the trees, And building nests beneath the eaves, Among my honeysuckle leaves.

S, Grant’s tomb is situated on beautiful Riverside Drive by the side of the Hudson River, in New York City. The building is gray and is sot somewhat off the ground. The top is rounded. The whole is Quite impressive . There as quite a crowd of us in our party waon we visited the tomb. As we entered the door, a hush fell upon us. The inside of the tomb is illu .inated by a soft purple light. This, however, enables one to see quite clearly. The tomb is in the center out lo” r than the rest of the floor; in fact it is in a little room far belo ' . There is a balcony witn a small rai.ing around where one can lean over and see the buri- l place. Above the coffin are the old flags that U. S. Grant used, and as I looked down upon them, a thrill passed through me. I t nought of all he had done for his country. It almost seemed, as if I were alone there listening to the story of Grant. Once outside of the tomb it could be seen that the rest of the party had been affected in the same way. There w as little talking done on the homeward trip. Daisy St r a chan L9 FORT SUTTER Sutter’s Fort is located in Sacramento of K Street. This fort ™ r es built by Captain Sutter for defense from the Indians who were troublesome at that time. Trr hen you ride down K Street and see Sut- ter’s Fort your impression is that this fort could fight all the Indians in the -Test. It is a building made of adobe bricks which could withstand the bul- lets of the enemy. It has two entrances, each hav- ing a. small barred peace that cam be raised or low- ered. At each corner of the building there are blockhouses which are mounted with cannons. In the or any place in fact. Do these people stop once to think why they are having a holiday? Do they stop once to think in whose honor the holiday is planned? They celebrate in this way because they do not know the real meaning of that day. All they know is the fact that it is very convenient to have a day off. We have patriotic days to remind us of the men who have lived our history and to refresh our memo- ry lest we forget to respect them as we should. Parents and teachers should draw the attention of the children to the nobility of Washington, and oth- er great men. Then these children will tell their children, and the immortal story of grea.t men will live vividly on. The spirit of Lincoln and Wash- ington should pass into the hearts of the people as they celebrate the birthdays of these great men. L9 Class THE MAKING OF AN AMERICAN Just living in America does not make a person the 11 right kind of an American. M Even if his father and his grandfather have always lived in America, this does not make him a true American. Of course no person is an American without his citizenship papers, but that is not the most important part. The chief thing in making Americans is to teach all foreigners to love and respect America. It is nec- essary to impress upon their minds that America is their country and, if necessary, they should be will ing to give their lives for it. Undoubtedly the most important duty of an American is to answer the call of his country in time of war and not do all in his power to stay away from war and be a slacker. In time of peace a real American should always vote. An American should not only obey the laws but also enforce them as he is the one to make them. L9 Class days of the gold rush Sutter’s Fort was very impor- tant, but now it is only used as a museum and as a center of curiosity. My impression when I saw this building was of mixed curiosity and admiration, and, as I went through the museum, I felt more admiration but after looking at Sutter ' s and Marshall’s rooms and the rooms where the Donner party were kept, I felt some sadness over the recollection of their hardships . George Bockrath L9 GREETING LINDBERGH Lindbergh is one of our famous living men. He did something great for aviation. He flew across the Atlantic Ocean, from New York to Paris, in thir- ty-four and a half hours. He proved what an aero- plane can do. Last August he flew to Little Falls, Minnesota, his own home town. On that day I was also there to see him. We lived thirty-five miles from Little Falls. When Lindbergh lived there, he owned an old Ford car. On the day of his arrival the citizens of the town put the car on the street with these words written on it: Lindbergh ' s first plane . When he arrived at the landing place all the people of the town were there to see him. When Lindbergh stepped to the platform and made a speech I thought it was wonderful to do something great for one ' s country. I felt as though I wanted to do something great for my country that would live as long as what Charles Lindbergh has done will live Olga Tauchen L8 WHY WE HAVE PATRIOTIC DAYS Tomorrow is a holiday, hurrah’ We are going on a picnic, says one. We are going to the beach, says another. This is the talk one hears at school MEETING PRESIDENT WILSON It was in the summer of 1919 when President Wil- son ww as making his tour of the United States that my young aunt, who was visiting from the east, suddenly announced that the President was in Portland, and asked me if I would like to see him. President Wil- son. 1 I had to gasp] All thro ugh the latter part of the dreadful war I had heard my parents speak of President Wilson: how kind he had been and how he had endeavored to do the best thing for his country i I told my aunt that we mast, by all means, go down and see the parade. The next morning we lined along the highway on boxes with the rest of the crowd and watched the usual bustle and craining of necks that precedes a parade. While I sat on one box and kept my eye on the other, my aunt stepped into a florist’s shop and bought a great armful of beautiful Portland roses for me to give to the President’s wife! We waited and waited-. At last we heard the faint strains of music that the band was playing. The music grew louder and louder! At last the band passed us, and the President’s car stopped directly in front of us to let the rest of the pardde even up ahead. I clutched the roses in my arms ana walked stiffly out to the car. I was so dazed that I could hardly see Mrs. Wilson’s face. She was a plump, com- fortable looking lady and I liked her at once. She had a huge gray plume on her hat that tickled me as she hugged me and called me a ’’little dear”. Pres- ident Wilson took off his hat and smiled at me! Ke looked just as kind as I had heard he was and remin- lawyer. It certainly gave me a great ded me of our thrill to see the President that did so much for our country, and I shall never forget that great day when I presented the President’s wife with rop ' ses i Frances Henry L9 THE STATUE OF LIBERTY Upon nearing the harbor of New York, after hav- ing traveled in Eurooe for three months, I was again eager to gaze upon the statue of the Goddess of Lib- erty. She stands with her lighted torch held high, alone, with only the ships for company. . Ships come in near her base, and the passengers admire this beautiful lady. When our boys were going to France, they would salute her I believe that this statue was placed in this location so that foreigners upon entering this coun- try will know that they have found a pla.ce where they will be free. To Americans she means a great deal more. Loira Bianucci L9 SEEING GENERAL PERSHING Too small I was to realize what a great general General Pershing was, but my heart thrilled at seeing one of our great men, I had .just a glimpse of him passing by. He looked no be about six feet in height, broad-shouldered, straight as an arrow, clear-eyed and direct, with an erect figure. He looked to me every inch a soldier and a worthy successor to Wash- ington, Grant. Sherman, or Sheridan. I was among the crowd watching him go from the steamship to the main land after his return from France. He became an international figure as commander of the great army that turned the page in the great- est war in history. He had an adventurous life dur- ing which, step by step, Black Jack, as he was called, advanced to the rank of full general, a ti- tle which has been held by only four other Americans. Merle Bedell L9 CONING UPON A GENERAL On a trip to Florida with my father and other, we had to pass through a small village called Telman. As we were very tired after the long drive, which had lasted all day, we decided to put up at a small hotel. It was very small and when we found that out, ’ e were not pleased with it. 2£y father de- cided to go on to the next town, which iT as about cov- er, ty- five miles away. Ky father drove the machine at a fast rate of speed, and when my mother let out a terrible screw:: he jammed on the brakes. Right in front of us wg a white something which looked quite a bit like a. ghost. It was about twelve o’clock and very dark and dismal so we were quite up-set by this sppari- t i on . I ' y father took a flash from his socket and v ent up to see what Tv as in front of us. w hcn we found out what it was, irr e were quite thrilled. It w-wo a. grca.t general mounted on his white horse. Both were of white marble, making it a thing of beauty. The statue had been erected on the battlefield where the young loader had fallen, but now this high- way passes by the spot. Daphne Francis L9 IN LINCOLN PARK Then I used to live in Los Angeles, one day I r ent to Lincoln Park on my bike. In the park there were little hills of lawn, and I thought it was much fun to go on top of one and then skid down. I had done this for quite a. little while when I noticed that right behind a tree was Lincoln’s statue. I went up to see it. As I stood reading the quotations written below it, I felt very patriotic and I felt sorry for the way I had skidded down with my bike and made tracks on the lawn. I went back and tried to cover the tracks. Soon I had them covered and I returned to the statue and looked at it and wondered if Lincoln would forgive me for ruining his park. Daniel Cho L9 THE LEWIS AND CLARK MONUMENT Seaside, the place where Lewis and Clark first beheld the Pacific, is in Clatsop County, Oregon.. Seaside itself is a summer resort with a long strip of sandy beach to enjoy. A large cement wall stretches quite a distance down the beach. All a- long this wall is what would be called at Atlantic City a board walk”, but this happens to be. made of cement. At night the walk is lighted up brightly. There are a few hotels, a tourist’s camp, and many pretty summer cottages. These, with several stores, mostly shops in which to buy souveniers, make up the small town of Seaside. Leaving the town and walking north a short dis- tance, you follow the beach which is bordered by pine and fir trees. The way becomes rough from the many pebbles. Here, by a brown cottage set in among the trees, you see a large mound of stones. . This is a monument marking the spot where Lewis and Clark, with Sacajawea, their faithful guide, gazed out upon the calm Pacific, their hard journey ended „ No two persons seem to have the same impression of the place. As I looked out over the cloudy Pacif- ic, the houses seemed to melt away. I saw the awed explorers, and the young Indian girl, Sacajawea, with her cooing baby strapped on her back. She was seeing the great waters for the first time l The explorers, Le is and Clark, could at last go back to Washington with a map of their journey from ocean to ocean. The Indian girl had led the way to the open- ing of the great Northwest. A nudge from my uncle roused me from my dream- ing. The Pacific was there, pounding and roaring a- gainst the shore. A sharp, salty tang was in the air. It was growing late and we must return to the hotel. The rest of the party walked on, laughing and talking about other things, but I followed be- hind them, with many a backward glance, almost ex- pecting at any minute to have Sacajawea or Lewis and Clark ave me a triumphant good-bye.

Frances’ Henry ' LS SEVENTH GRADS ART NOTES One of the interesting projects in connection with the Junior Red. Cross work, has been the making of birthday cards for the soldiers in local hospig tals. We made over sixty cards decorating them with original designs, and enclosing leaflets upon which the L8 had typed little birthday sentiments. Twenty Easter cards decorated with jolly, dressed-up bunnies in new Easter bonnets, were sent to the hospitals by our Junior Red Cross department. Early in the term the teachers gave a luncheon in honor of Dr. H. 3. Wilson, who left us this year to be the new chief of the American Red Cross. The H7 made appropriate place cards of children of many lands, drawn on tag board, and dressed in colored crepe paper which ! ' rs. Bowers kindly contributed. Burbank School did its share in making the Red Cross portfolio from Berkeley one of those selected for the Friendship Project. The Wizard, and various types of art work were included. The L7 contributed a dozen or more posters for the Community Chest Drive. Among the interesting themes included in our Kindness to Animals posters, was a study of the history of what animals have done fpr us. This sug- gested posters of Baldy 1 s dash to Nome, the Red Cross dogs in war, the horses of the pony express, and pack animals of all lands and ages. One L8 class made studies of wild animals in their native habitats as a plea against trapping, caging and wan- ton killing. There were also individual expressions of animals as friends of man. Special students worked out a series of car- toons and posters advertising the operetta, which Mrs. Wilkes kindly distributed for us. This year our Wizard illustrations are being al- lotted to the different classes. The members of each class are evolving a composite illustration, and then competing in working our the best result. EIGHTH AND NINTH GRADE ART NOTES The Art Work of the low 8 one and two, and the low and high 9 under Mrs. Most, considered as a school activity has been mainly Poster and Stage work. Our first call this term was for posters for the Community Ohest Organization, In response we sent our sixty or seventy which were displayed at main points of concentration in Berkeley. Of these posters David Lee was given first honorable mention. Marcella Spenger ran a close second. Following this we entered the Poster Contest of the Latham Foundation for Promoting Humane Educa- tion. This contest was open to all schools in the state. Junior High Schools are listed in Group II. We sent fifty-nine posters and won all five prizes and four Certificates of Merit. Those winning are: First Prize Marcella Spenger Second Prize Harriet McMenomy Third Prize Samuel Cho Fourth Prize Louise Apperson Fifth Prize David Lee In this contest four prizes were offered for posters best depicting Cruelty of Trapping. David Lee competing with Senior High schools all over the State won second place. The prize of $10 goes to him personally. All prizes listed, except those for Cruelty of Trapping, were cash prizes going to the school which the successful pupil attended. Our con- tests won forty dollars for Burbank. It may inter- est you to know a committee is engaged in selecting a work of art for Burbank as an inspiration for fur- ther achievements. The next project was scenery for the Operetta, In Arcady, given this spring. In Arcady called MUSIC AT THE BURS AUK JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL Four phases of music are taught at the Burbank Junior High School. These are the band, the orches- tra, the Piano Club, and the vocal music or chorus work . Music is a means of relaxation and restfulness, and two periods each week are given over to it by each class in the school. Besides having general choruses we learn the essentials of music. We learn of the great masters of music, and of their master- pieces. This term, besides the general music that is taught, we are training in our music periods for an operetta. The soloists are all directed in their parts by Miss Gilbert; those in the choruses are di- rected by Mrs. Golden. Through the patient work of these two teachers, with the co-operation of all the other teachers, and the help of the students, we are sure that this operetta, In Arcady, will be a pleasant one to all who attend. One of the most popular features of music at Burbank is the band. Directed by Mr. Hobbs, the band has always given successful programs on Field Day, for the senior procession at graduation, and many assemblies. There are, at the present time, thirty-five members in the band, the boys ranging from the seventh grade to the ninth grade. If you play any instrument that may help to make the band successful, ask Mr. Hobbs the conditions of entrance and I am sure that he will be glad to assist you. The members of the orchestra number to thirty- five, and all of them have helped us by contributing to our various operettas and other programs. When- ever we have visitors during assemblies, we take great pride in showing how well our orchestra can play. The members of the orchestra are both boys and girls of the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades. The director is Mr. Schott. Training in instrument playing is given by Miss Brightman, Mr. Minzyk, and Mr. Schott. Another field of music which is taught in Bur- bank is the piano. The pupils of the piano teacher, Miss McCall, have joined an organization, known as the Piano Club. If you wish to learn to play the pi- ano, and do not have one at home, you may take les- sons and practice after school hours on the piano in the Piano Club room or the assembly. All of us who do not belong to the orchestra, the band, or the Piano Club, still gave general mu- sic, and are able to enjoy the music of these three organizations. Martha Carlson HS MUSIC AS A VOCATION Music is often called the 11 profession for enter- tainment. Without the pleasure and enjoyment that people get from it, life would be very dull and at times nonotonous. Music serves to make life richer and more beautiful. Musicians are usually born and not made. Not that the same qualities are present in all, but they are so very pronounced. If you think you have tal- ent, it is wise to consult with some expert in the line of music, and get his advice as to whether you have a talent that is worth cultivation. Music needs a very thorough and special prepara- tion. There are private teachers and special schools for music. There are schools of music in connection with colleges and universities, and there are special schools in large cities. One may also go abroad to study. The musician may go into concert work, or he may give lessons, or he may go into an orchestra. Organists and pianists can get positions in churches and in places where there are large assemblies. REASONS FOR TEACHING MUSIC AT BURBANK Music supplies the means cf bringing young chil- dren into actual contact with beauty. So important is training in rhythmic movement that it has become an important part of the public school training. The tendency of singing in the schools has been to civilize the child as far as mu- sic is concerned; to make the child happy and to help him mentally. The music instructors cf Burbank are interested in seeing the children have joy in singing or play- ing music. They are interested in keeping alive the beauty of music in the children’s hearts. One great essential taught at Burbank is to judge good music from poor. Burbank ' s school orchestra and band have become important features in the music instruction. Our band and orchestral playing is very far advanced. They often outshine the singing in popularity. Ethel Roberts H9 THE OPERETTA Each term the H9 graduating classes of Burbank Junior High School give a play pr an operetta. This term an operetta, was given Thursday afternoon, March 29 and Friday evening, March 30. The name of the op- eretta was In Arcady. The Honorable James Woodbine, a member of Con- gress transformed his home in Arcady into a model farm. He is supposed to arrive there to celebrate Old Home Week. On the farm is a group of college students called scientific farmers. Ebenezer Riggs is the manager of the farm. He is trying to perfect a new kind of fertilizer. He loves Prudence Brier, the postmistress. When the two get together and try to act as young people they make a comical couple, for they are both about fifty years old. Riggs has an assistant named Peter who falls in love with Jane, the pretty telephone girl. On the farm is a mysterious farmhand called Jack. There is a reward of one thousand dollars oi- fered for the capture of John Hunter and Jack hears a striking resemblance to him. Bean, the constable, is trying to get the reward. Jane and Prudence try to help Jack as much as they can. Finally James Woodbine arrives, bringing his attractive daughter, Virginia, with him and a group of government clerks. Jack is attracted by Virginia’s charm, but Woodbine wants Virginia to marry a farmer and mentions Riggs. But Virginia is not interested in Riggs and does not agree with her father. William Bean captures Jack, but Prudence saves him by placing a postal tag and a one cent stamp on him and holds him for postage. Jack is cleared of all suspicion. He is made Woodbine’s secretary. Woodbine tells him of his in- tention of making a match between Virginia and Riggs but Jack is far from enthusiastic. Misunderstand- ings arise, but are cleared by Jane, Prudence, and Virginia. Riggs marries Prudence while Jane and Peter take the honeymoon trail. Jack finds in Vir- ginia the true and simple girl he is looking for. Two casts of characters performed. One on Thursday afternoon the other on Friday evening. The casts are as follows: Cast 1 Cast 2 James Woodbine Ebenezer Riggs P eter Jack Hunter William Bean Silas Rankin Amos Appleby Madison Burke William Wolf Frank Linotti Charles Hansen Louis Leimone A. Viramontes George Corso Virginia Woodbine Annie Poutanen Prudence Brier Dorothy Sisterna Jane Brier Marjorie Thomas Mamie Margaret King Also Government Clerks, village girl cents .

There are four girls to each unit. There is a sink in each kitchen and also a stove. The convenience of this equipment fa- cilitates the work. This leaves time to study. The girls in the cooking class are not only there to eat the food, hut to learn the how and why of cooking. The educational values of this department are innumerable. Many a dad these stormy nights has come home to a delicious repast on the table. When he has asked who prepared it he finds to his delight, it was prepared by his daughter. The mothers and fa- thers enjoy the girls 1 cooking classes as much as the girls do tnemselves, . Daisy Strachan L9 THE SCHOOL GIRL DRESSED SUITABLY FOR THE OCCASION The well-dressed junior high school girl wears neat, tidy clothes, and those which are suitable for the occasion. Among the many dresses which are very good for school wear, are the following outfits: (l) A slip-on sweater, of any of the pastel shades with a skirt of the same shade is quite smart for school. Either gray, tan, or white stockings are preferable for this type of dress. ' Tan or gray Oxfords of suede axe suitable, or a black sport shoe with a military heel. (2) A very stylish dress is of English print, simply made with plain collar and cuffs. White stockings and Oxfords, or plain shoes with a strap or two, are best suited for this type of dress, (3) A chic outfit is a dark brown or blue two- piece Jersey dress, with white or light collar and cuffs. Tan stockings and Oxfords harmonize beauti- fully with the rest of the outfit. (4) Thursdays and Fridays the girls at Burbank wear middies and skirts. White middies and skirts with red ties, or white middies and dark blue skirts with dark blue ties are the most popular. If you wear both white middy and skirt, white stockings and dark shoes should be worn, but if you choose the dark skirt, either tan or gray stockings with Oxfords are best suited.

This kind of shop work is forge, which I am taking up under the supervision of Mr. Frick. The Burbank shop has been making wonderful progress this year, I think its products are up to the junior high stand- ards. Of course there are many different kinds of work in our shop; there are sheet metal, plumbing, autoshop, forge, electricity, and others. The best work that I have seen this term has been done in forge work. Just not, I am making a colonial fireplace set. This set is a well-planned one. All that see it like it very well. It is not so easy to make, but Burbank students do not let difficulties stop them. They go right ahead and do their best. The set in- cludes a stand that stands about 30 inches in length, and a shovel and poker of about the same length. The main feature of this set is that it has some very artistic bends and turns in it. All these turns are painted gold, while the rest of the pieces are painted black. These two colors make a very good combination. TYPEWRITING The typewriting classes make the Wizard each term. Of course, the H9 1 s do the grea.ter part of the work, but even the K7 1 s learn to operate the mim- eograph, file stencils, sort papers, and assemble the books. The Wizard is a Burbank project that gives each class a chance to participate. The class Wizard edi- tors attend weekly meetings and the material for the book is assigned and collected. Each section of the book is in charge of a faculty sponsor and when a topic is complete, the copy is sent to the typists. The typists have a set of directions which must be followed exactly in order to insure a good piece of work. Here are a few of the instructions: Cen- ter the titles. Write in capitals. Type as much on a line as possible. Use the slant mark to show the number of unused spaces at the end of the line. The only typing to extend beyond the marginal stop at sixty-six are the punctuation marks. DIVIDE WORDS BETWEEN SYLLABLES. Use the dictionary if not abso- lutely certain of the proper division of a word. Strike overs or erasures are not permitted. RETURN ' .IZARD WORK AT THE END OF EACH LESSON. After the faculty sponsors have proof read and arranged the pages as they are to be in the Wizard, the stencils are cut. Again the typists have a com- plete set of directions which must by followed ex- plicitly: Clean type thououghly. Pay especial at- tention to e, a, and o. Set marginal stops, tabula- tor stop, and line space gauge. Put the Wizard page number and your name on the stub of the stencil. Re- move stencil from typewriter, put ribbon key down in the FIRST notch, then reinsert stencil so that thir- ty-one of the stencil scale is at forty on the type- writer scale. Arranging the typing close to the left edge, makes the mimeographing easier, as one cylinder clip and stripper will be used to force the papers downward as they are printed. The faculty sponsors approve the stencils for their pages and then the mimeographing begins. When all the pages are finished, the books are assembled. Four hundred thirty-five Wizards were made this term. The typewriter companies offer awards to accu- rate typists. The following students have won the Thirty Word Award: Guido Agrusa, Amelia Behrens, Raymond Brignolio Martha Carlson, Julius Goranson, Jesse Oliveira, Agnes Pearson, Ethel Roberts, Stella Sawers, Evelyn Shanahan, Josephine Smiraglia, and Marjorie Thomas.

Not wishing to disturb the librarian, Marjorie went to the card catalog. This catalog, you know, gives the name of the author, the books he has written which are in the library, the number of the book, and a statement about the book. Finding that the author was Malot, Marjorie looked over the shelves where the authors ' names began with M, but could not find the bock. Another student who vac there before Marjorie, saw the book and took it across the library. There she saw another book which she thought was good, tock it and put Nobody’s Girl on that shelf. Not finding the book, Marjorie put in a reserve card for it. Finding a Dock which looked interesting, Marjorie sat down to look it over. Pictures were torn out, writing was on many of the pages, some pages were dog-eared and ether pages were torn out. However, she found another copy of the book that a careful student had had before, which was not damaged. Marjorie found the book interesting, so put a bookmark in her place,. When Marjorie left, she put ner chair back in its place, then waited patiently and courteously in lino for her turn.. She took out her card, that was clean a nd not torn, and held it so the librarian could read it without difficulty. When leaving the library, Marjorie noticed that candy wrappers were strewn around, she also noticed that the shrubbery was broken, and she wished everybody would remember it was his library and would try to improve it. Ellen Carlson L8 BOYS’ PHYSICAL EDUCATION We have taken another forward step in our phy- sical education work this term. Last year we or- ganized a group of hoys, to act as game officials. They handled all the interclass play from the start. They have progressed to a form of class leadership that is proving itself every day. Each advisory class elects its own leader. He has charge of the class games, and the organization of his class team. The leader assists in the locker room and gym- nasium, in giving out and taking in of equipments. He sees that his class is prompt and in their suits. Each leader wears a distinct emblem on his uniform based on the class he is in as L7 or H7 etc. The following boys have acted as leaders this term: C. Andrade, P. Castro, L. Casiani, 3. Dawson, A. DeG-ennaro, J. Gegho, H. Jamison, C. Larson, J. Roach, V. Silveria, J. Schroth, P. Turturice, J. Tol- ley, Wm. Wooten, L. Zulaica, W. Zeck, F. Drew, J. Valentino, E. Borba, V. Lucas, E Salteel, A. Vira- montes, and L. Viramontes. The boys’ basket ball teams started the season in good shape, winning most of their pie-season games, and were very hopeful of getting the city championship, but such was not to be. The 105 team began their series with Emeryville Jr. High School, but lost all their games to the Berkeley junior highs. They put up a splendid game and had to play extra periods to decide the Edison tilt. The Garfield game was a. very close one — our team showed a splendid fight all the way, and took their defeat in good grace. Guido Agrusa was captain and Paul Bernadou was the high point man. The 115 team went thru to a champ i on shio by winning all of their games. They defeated Roosevelt Jr. High of Richmond and Emeryville Jr. High of Emeryville and also let Edison, Garfield and Willard down on the short end of the score. Ross Price and William Wooten were the high point boys and Roy Price piloted the team to victory. B’s were won by: Ross Price, Roy Price, B. Dorenzo, w m. Wooten, F. Tuska- moto, R. Matthews, C. Larson, G. Cornell, J. Arm- strong, and M. Lindstrom. D. Lee won a . The Un- limited Team looked like a championship team. They started by defeating Willard but lost to Garfield and Edison. The Garfield score was 35 to 23. The boys played excellent basketball and it w oulo. be hard to select the best players. Salvador Zulaica was wonderful as guard. Dudley Jones and Arnold Viramontes did some very fine goal shooting, and Louis Casciani played a fast game at the running guard ' s position. BASE BALL Hurrah for Burbank! Our ball team has won the City Championship again, by defeating Garfield 9-5 and Edison 10-6. The boys had Edison 10-2 in the seventh inning, but Arnold, our pitcher, let Edison make a. few runs before he ran the curtain down on its team, ' ’’e also won all of our practice games and defeated Emeryville 7-3. Arnold Viramontes acted as captain and handled the team well. Salvator Zulaica was our best scor- ing hitter. He scored five runs against Edison with his batting, and has yet to drop his first fly ball in the left field. Dudley Jones and Dennis Scap rro did some very fine batting, as well as playing their positions in good style. Our team as a whole, was a hard hitting fast playing ball team. The boys on the tee.n who won their school let- ters are: M . Connors, J. Connors, C. Larson, L. Vir- amontes, A. Dinelli, W. Valenti, and S. Gilligan (bat boy). The boys who won stars are: L. Casciani, D. Jones, A. Viramontes, W. Wootfenn, and S Zulaica. We also had a very fine second string ball team. It won all its games, too, and its lineup will be awarded a 4 B. The boys are: A. Roletto, F. Drew, A. Anaclerio, R. Peterson, H. Fee, V. Eilveria, and P. Turturice. The boys who won stars are Ross Price, Roy Price, and J. Armstrong. GIRLS’ PHYSICAL EDUCATION Tne girls ' basketball games played against Wil- lard, Edison, and Garfield disolayed good soortman- ship on the part of our girls. The teams were hand- icapped by having a new coach, who found it difficult to train the teams, at short notice. The girls lost every game. The girls on the team displayed excel- lent spirit and it was, therefore, considered advis- able to give each girl, who played two full games, a B different than the blocked B. While it is the aim and ambition of everyone of us to win, the true athlete is the one who can win without a boast and who can lose without an apology. At no time during the games, did any girl player or rooter from Burbank display by word or action that she was anything but a fine citizen. The coach felt particularly proud of the manner in which the Burbank girls conducted themselves with the teams of other schools . The 105 team 3 winners were: M. Thomas ( Cap- tain), T. Kunz, L. Guelfo, R. Bruhn, T. Loebs, T. O ' Keefe, K. Curly, D. Strachan and A. Hey. The 115 team 3 winners were: E. Lueckfeld (Captain), L. Singh, L. Clark, H. Clark, M. Olsen, A. Delahanty, A. Giordano; J. O ' Leary, and H. Verrinder. The Unlimited Team B winners were: T. Sisterna (Captain), E. Barker, M. Berryman, V. Skoverski, C. Boersma, E. Matson, D. Sisterna, and H. McMenomy. INTERCLASS GAMES Two ' sets of numerals are given for interclass basketball. A series of games was played between all of the seventh and low eighth grades and another series was played between the high eighth and ninth grades. A star is given to girls who have already won their numerals. The following girls won numerals: H. Sampson, K. Hampton, B. Harden, T. Kurri, A. Longley, V. Thomas, R. Marsicano, A. Connors, E. Shanahan, and S. Niemi. The following girls won stars: A. Foutanen, M. McPherson, J. SmirasfLia, M . Carlson, L. Ap-erson, E . Luokkala, and E. Seevers. There are three leaders in each advisory. The leaders are chosen by the girls. There is a citizen- ship leader who has full charge of her class. This leader wears an emblem. There are individual em- blems for the seventh, eighths, and ninth grades. The shower monitor keeps the shower chart up to date and is responsible for the appearence of the dress- ing rooms. The suit inspector makes certain each day that every erirl in her class is attired correct- ly. The girls have learned thirteen dances this term. The games have occupied the greater part of the Physical Education program. Mary Murphy was brought to school and used as a live example for child hygiene talks. The papers written after these discussions showed that the girls have learned a great deal about infant care. Mary wasn’t a year old when she made her first visit to Burbank. Other hygiene talks have been given and part of the duties of the Citizen Leaders each morning is to inspect hands and fingernails. The field meet on May 25 included for the girls: Basketball goal, baseball strike, standing broad jump,, and fifty yard dash. The advisory relays will include the Irish Lilt, and posture test in marching. Kathy rn H. Murphy — Physical E.

We took an in- teresting and also a quick trip to Yellowstone, get- ting back in forty minutes, safe and right on time, We were eager for a start but the film broke and we showed unusual patience. We sat quiet for five min- utes, the result, no doubt, of our perfect student control . January 27 The boys seemed to be well satisfied with their jinks. Whether it was their own company or their own skill that pleased them the most is hard to tell but at least the brothers Bill and Chris Dawson dis- played some amazing tricks. Then two seventh grader while blind folded, kept the audience guessing and trying to ward off their blows. There was plenty of jolly good fellowship too. How the fc irls enjoyed their jinks is hard for me to tell, but if length has anything to do with en joyment, it must have been good, for it was surely a long program. I am told that they enjoyed their speeches and musical numbers so much that they had no time left for trying out their new yell leader. February 3 A number of slides on agriculture were shown by Prof. D. J. Kern from the University of Calif- ornia. The slides were about the four backgrounds: sea, forest, sky, and mountains and should have en- couraged us to appreciate this world in which we live . February 8 Our Lincoln’s birthday program included parts taken by the whole school as well as by a few out- siders. The band played two numbers, which they man aged very well. Mr. Waterman, a veteran of the Grand Army and also a former superintendent of the Berkeley Schools, gave a talk. A member of the coun cil, Mrs. Hoyt, also gave a talk. Then, Mr. James, the superintendent of the Berkeley schools, gave a few recollections of his life in the South. The school sang patriotic songs and afterwards actual pictures of Lincoln were shown. February 15 This program was held in the Assembly Hall. Rev. Stanley Hunter gave a talk on how the song America the Beautiful originated. The song Tramp Tramp was sung by Leon Hunter with the whole school singing the chorus. It was a good urogram and it was over on time. March 3 On March 3, a program was given which may well be called a musical program . A trio made up of University girls played for us. They had to leave early, but for the rest of the time we were inter- tained by Miss Aorton, who sang a number of songs. March 9 we had exercises given by the school on Burbank School’s twelfth birthday, We had a variety of en- tertainment consisting of songs and talks. A small Monterey pine was presented to Mr. Preston by the low eight class to be planted on the Burbank grounds. A set of slides of African flowers were shown by Mr. Freyer. He explained that there were 150 varieties of heather in Africa. March 16 A program was given on March 16 that was enjoy- ed a great deal by all: Mr. Welty entertained us by telling all about the American Indians. He showed us the sign language of the Indians. It was cer- tainly an interesting program, and I feel sorry if any one missed it. March 39 A talk given by Mir. Martin, a brother of our Miss Martin, was the eveet of the morning of Miarch 39. He gave a talk on The Charioteer of the Sun which seemed to please everyone. He is an interest- ing speaker and kept everyone’s attention. April 30 We were happy to welcome back Miss Eugenia Rey- nolds in a very attractive musical program. Miss Eugenia Reynold’s appropriate costumes always add to the charm of her songs. She was assisted by Eliza- beth Rooney, accompanist and Eileen McCall, our piano instructor. April 27 The L9 ’ class presented a program imitative of the Chauve Souris”. Their numbers included a min- uet, a pantomime, a scene from The Riders to the Sea , a poem, The Ballad of the Harp Weaver , the Parade of the Wooden Soldiers , and two clowns in a dance pantomime. Some of the participants acted so well in character that their own indentity was not re- vealed. Thelmo Bianucci L9 SEVENTH GRADE PROGRAMS January 13 At the P. T. A. reception David Lee, president of the student body and Marjorie Thomas, president of the girls’ association gave addresses of welcome to the new pupils. Several piano solos were clayed and a number of songs were sung. Mr. Preston ad- dressed the assembly. January 27 At the girls’ jinks, which was held in the aud- itorium, several classes of girls gave dances, stunts, and recitations. Agnes Pearson played a piano solo, and we were very fortunate in having two visitors, Miss Frances Rogers and Fiss Malone. Miss Rogers presented readings of several entertaining poerns, and Miss Falone sang most charmingly for us. February 2 All the low and high seventh grades contributed to the program given on this day. The former presi- dent of the low seventh assemblies took charge, and the new candidates were introduced. There were sev- eral songs, dances, and piano solos, all of which were enjoyed very much. February 9 The H7’ class gave the Lincoln’s Birthday pro- gram. Some very interesting incidents of Lincoln’s life were dramatized. We were very happy to have Fr Samuel C. May, president of the G. A. B., address us. There were several recitations and songs, and the Gettysburg address was sooken by the school. February IS The L7’ and L7 M classes gave n A Washington’s Birthday Pageant” which described several incidents in Washington’ s life. March 1 The H7” ” ’ class contributed a thrift clay for this program. It was not only clever but also in- structive, and in olaces it was funny. March 8 The Burbank program in honor of Luther Burbank was given by the H7” class. The program proved to be most enjoyable and also very ore tty because of the costuming. The play, ’’The Plant Wizard,” told how the cactus lost its thorns and how various flow- ers obtained new colors and perfumes. April 13 A student of the Oakland Technical School, Mr. Wagner, rendered some oiano solos and then accompan- ied Mr. Kaney, now with the Chicago Opera Company, who sang some beautiful songs. Mr. Howell, dressed as an Indian, gave several Indian songs, danced some Indian dances, and told many facts about the Indians. We thoroughly enjoyed this. April 19 A very clever program was given by the H7 f class. One of the plays, ’’The Old Plantation,” was a negro play and was extremely comical. The other play, ’’While the Cat Is Away,” was the story of a butler who gave a p rty, which was interrupted by the return of his master. A very pretty ballet dance was given by the girls of the class, and a solo dance was presented by Mildred Forsell. April 23 The H7” ’ class gave a very clever program. The play, ” In the Kingdom of the Pose Queens,” was very beautiful. It was the dramatized story of a boy who was captured by the flowers and oictures their oun- ishment of him.

These first three groups were called the Path Find- ers 1 ’, Bright Hours and the Merry Bells . At the end of the first year, since the club rooms were too small for the number of girls, it was decided to build a little house ro be used especially as a club house. Its address is 1371 Hearst Avenue, and the girls named it the Shingle Shack because it is built of shingles. There are five different divisions: The Merry Bells , The Linnets , The Wavelets , The Crickets , and The Sunny Hours . When a new club is to be formed, Miss Balsly goes to see the parents of some of the girls and finds out whether they would like to have their daughters become members and whether they would be glad to cooperate with the club. Not more than eighteen members form a group, and, when there is a vacancy, very often the members of the club suggest another girl to fill it. The parents must approve before the girl can become a member. Two of the original clubs have gone to Berkeley High School and so are no longer Shingle Shack members. Every six months we elect new officers; ’ the president, vice-president, secretary, a.nd treasurer. The vice-president has charge of the program commit- ee. We also elect a cheer leader. Once a month we have a business meeting and ap- point committees for different occasions. At the other meetings of the month, we play games and have good times. We have many different kinds of games such as archery, pingpong, card games, and baseball. Each club has a few songs of their own, which they us- ually sing at each meeting. Once a month we have a supper-meet ing and dif- ferent girls are appointed to serve as hostesses, to cook, to serve, to give a program, and to clean up the house after every one has gone. Generally, we invite guests to our suppers which, are given with the money raised by the club members, who pay twenty- five cents every six months as dues. Eleanor Shattuck L8 THE PIANO CLUB The Piano Club was organized, last term by ' iss Eileen ■■ ' cCa.ll, the piano teacher, and her pupils. There were fifteen pupils belonging to the club at that time. We hope to have more members this term. All pupils that wish to join must either take piano lessons from Hiss HcCall or be interested in music . The club meetings are held the first Thursday of every month at the piano studio, Room 5D. At these meetings reports are given on the great living pianists of the world, selections are played by the members, and short talks on the history, and appreci- ation of music arc given by the tca.cher. Sometimes friends of Hiss McCall’s sing or play for us. We have a very cozy little club room and we know if you join our club you will enjoy it very much. Carol French, Ellen Lateana H7 THE AMERICAN JUNIOR RED CROSS COUNCIL The Berkeley Junior Red Cross Council meets at the Berkeley Senior High School once every month while school is in session. Every class in our school is represented through a delegate to the Council. The delegate makes a report of the Service Work of the school at the close of each semester to the President of the Council. This semester the Art Classes, under the direc- tion of Miss Santos, prepared some lovely favors for a luncheon given at the school in honor of Miss Mary Concannon and designed beautiful Easter Cards to send to the exservice men at the United States Veter- ans’ Hospital at Livermore. When the Berkeley Public Schools were asked to prepare a portfolio to be sent to Japan, our school contributed a Wizard, favors and Easter Cards as their unit. Only three portfolios from California were se- lected and we were very proud to know that Berkeley Vs portfolio - r as chosen as one of the three, so we shared the honor. In exchange, Japan sent a portfolio from The Industrial and Educational Convention as a token of friendship and good- will. Before the close of the year, four Wizards will be mailed to the following places: Geneva, Switzer- land, Masbate and Manila, Phillipine Islands, and Bucarest, Rournania. When the fall semester begins in August, we will have Roll Call again and at that time we will have the opportunity to join the American Junior Red Cross so we may continue to Serve. ‘Our motto is; Make Others Happy by Service. THE KODAK CLUB Membership in the Kodak Club is open to pupils in the high eighth grade science classes. Any pupil who produces a satisfactory photographic print may be admitted to membership. The pupil must take the snapshots, develop the film, and make the print. Those wishing to become members make a careful study of photographs in the science class before attempt- ing to make ' 1 the club. Each semester the club furnishes the Wizard with a set of photographs featuring our school’s ac- tivities. Many of our members in the past, who are now graduates of Burbank, retain their interest in photographs, and a few have made it their life work, Annetta Burger H8 BURBANK BOYS’ CLUB Special trips (including one overnight trip) will be arranged in addition to the regular schedule. The regulations of the Tamalpais Conservation Club, T. C. T„, are to be observed at all times. No single hiking — members must travel in company Swimming, archery practice, baseball, horseshoes, etc are arranged on many trips. One point of importance is the strict observance of the time set for departure and return. Partici- pants are responsible to the leader and may be ex- cluded from club activities for non-observance of regulations which after all, are few and simple, but which will be strictly adhered to. On many trips, the boys club together and cook a stew. We are looking forward to the trip which will be called, ’’The Ba becue Hike”. HERE IS NEXT YEAR’S SCHEDULE. SAVE IT.

Johnson H7 E - X- C- H- A-N-G-E-S Editors enjoy comparing tneir work wit n tnat of otners. Much mutual benefit is derived and many fine ideas, as well as nelpful criticisms, are excnan ed. This term are starting an exchange section in our magazine to acknowledge receipt of scnool mag- azines and books. Recently we nave received ex- changes from seventeen schools, both far and near, and ranging form grammar schools through high scnools The Arrow- Junior High School, Chisholm, Minn.

The evening ' s entertainment began with a very enjoyable concert by the Elks ' Glee Club, and ended with a dance to the music of Nelson’s orchestra — with greeting, and chatting with, old friends before, between and after the formal parts of bhe program. In order to be sure that there would be room for the actual alumni, invitations were issued .only to the former members of the Burbank and the Frank- lin Junior High Schools, the present High Ninth grade and escorts. Between three hundred and four hundred were - present , including most of the teachers. ..Everyone said that it was a most enjoyable even- ing, and that some reunion of the kind should be held at least once every term. Colleges and universities, we all know, go to a great deal of trouble and expense to keep track of their alumni, to get them together at special cele- brations, and to interest them in the betterment of the school they once attended. It is good for the alumni t meet old friends and to renew old associa- tions. It is good for the school to have the sup- port and good wishes — and the constructive criticism, too — of its former members. High schools are sometimes charged with trying to copy some of the less desirable university cus- toms ' Any not adopt some of the better ones instead? J. Oliveira (observing Marie Luken s .new checked dress): Let ' s play checkers, Marie. M. Lukens (snappy): It ' s your move and be quick about it, A. Woods (picking up a small sunkist orange): Humph, it evidently never recovered from the shock. Mrs. Smith: Stanley, how do you find the circumfer- ence of this circle? S. Dorn: Measure it. L . Casciani : Miss Martin: How ' s my chance of getting through this course? The best in years, my boy. G. Bockrath: Thelmo, what ' s a parasite? T. Bianucci: A parasite, is a man who walks through a revolving door without doing his share of pushing. The time will come, said Mrs. Waugh, when worsen will get men s wages. R. Tevlin; Yes, next Saturday night. E , Lueckfeld: Isn ' t it difficult to keep the cafe- teria budget straight? Mrs Derry; Yes, it ' s terrible. This month I ' ve had to put in four mistakes to make it balance correctly. The other day Henry Dax came home from school proudly flourishing a paper. It ' s a composition about Socrates, he said, handing it to his mother with a grand air. Miss Klaus told us about him, and then we wrote it. You can read it, if you want to. Mrs. Dax read; Socrates was a great man. He was a sort of a tramp. He told everybody what to do, and they gave him poison. Miss Bxockliss: I want the members of the class to play in the yard during the Lunch period. It is in good condition as a whole, J. Clark: Yes, the yard is all right as a hole. A. Anaclerio: Be careful not to cut my hair too short; people will take me for my sister. Why so depressed, Mr. Carlson? The horrible cost of living is terrible. What your house? No, my wife. G. Citragno: M I came to see how my friend Frank is getting along”. Nurse:- ”Why he is getting along fine; he 1 s convalesc- ing now”. G. Citragno: ”Well, I’ll sit and wait till he’s through” . Miss Klaus: Everything I touch today seems to go wrong. L. Herbert: Don’t touch me, then. Mrs. Skimmings: Jimmy, if you found a nickel and John gave you a dime, what would you have? J. Murphy: Good luck. Boy: I’ve added these figure up ten times. Employer: Good boy. Boy: And here are the ten answers. Up Lukens: What kind of tooth paste do you use? G. Agrusa: I don’t need tooth paste, my teeth are not loose. Farmer: Boy, what are you doing up in my cherry tree? Boy: That sign says to keep off the grass. A. Schmidt, after a story by Hiss Gilbert telling about 0. musician who composed a. song because he was homesick: The only time I feel homesick is when I r m in school. R. Foster (finishing an English report): They call it a mermaid with a man ' s head. V. Carlson: Well if it has a man ' s head, how can it be a mermaid? R. Foster: Well, men in bathing suits are called mermaids . A. Woods (finishing a speech in civics): Mrs. Waugh called for criticism. A. Roletto: She ' s got too much paint on. One of Mrs. Golden ' s questions in mythology was, How did the Gods punish man? J. Hadden answered: By sending a curse to man in the form of a woman. Mrs. Golden: You evidently intend to be a bachelor D. Bettencourt: How many hours do you study at night ? G. Bockrath: From five to four minutes. Miss Cameron: What is anchorite monk? J. Aleander: A monkey that anchors himself to a tree by his tail. Mrs. Smith: What is steam? E. Norris: Steam is water gone crazy with the heat Mr. Eby: All right, you are square with the world. A. Viramontes: I thought the world was round. A. Voekkel: What ' s that string arouna your finger for? R. Bruton: Oh, I ' m to get to school on time to- morrow and I may forget. Mrs. Golden: John, get to work. J. Madden: It ' s too far away.

Smith is the new superintendent of the Berkeley Schools. Before coming to Berkeley he lived in Joliet, Illinois. He knows all about schools as he has had twenty-one years of executive experience along with teaching boys and girls. Dr. Smith graduated from Denison University, Granville, Ohio, in 1902. He received his M. A. degree in 1913 from the University of Chicago. In 1919 Dr. Smith was granted a Ph. D. degree by the same University. We are glad to welcome Dr. and Mrs. Smith to our city and we hope they will often visit Burbank. PATRICIA HEAFEY, JOHN VALLERGO L8 OUR NEW TEACHERS We are glad to welcome several new teachers to Burbank Jr. High School. Mrs. Farwell is a Burbank Alumnus. She also graduated from San Francisco Normal School. Last year she taught at Richmond, Cali- fornia. Mrs. Farwell is taking the place of Mr. Shipley. She teaches the low seventh grade in mathematics and science. Miss Esther Steinmetz is another newcomer to Burbank. She teaches music as well as history and English. Also she has charge of the Boys ' Glee Club. Before coming to Burbank School Miss Steinmetz taught music at Exeter, California. Our school is fortunate to have Miss Stein- metz as she has had special preparation for her work. She graduated from Kansas State Teachers’ College and she has taken work at the University of California in Los Angeles as well as in Berkeley. Mr. McCaleb is another popular newcomer. He is also a graduate of the University of California. Last year he taught at Washington High School in Centerville, California. All of his classes at Burbank enjoy hearing the interesting stories he has to tell about his experiences in the navy. ELAINE GACHIS, ALFRED JOHNSON L8 NEWS OF FORMER TEACHERS Miss Lucille Friedman has been traveling since last May in England, Germany, Italy, and France. She will have many interesting experiences to tell us when she comes back to Burbank. We are hoping it will be soon. Miss Norma Klaus who was at Burbank last year is attending Hasting Law College. She expects to complete her work in another year. Mrs. Edith Morse Schonberg is living in New York. Have you seen the picture of her and her little son? It is on the bulletin board in the office. She sends greetings to all her former pupils. Mr. Shipley left Burbank to take a position in the Fresno Schools He is now doing research work in Fresno County.

All classes in the Burbank school tried to get one hundred per cent, so as to win the prize which was given. Mrs. Most, the class teacher of the HIGH NINE THREE class, re- ceived first prize for being one hundred per cent. Miss Albee, class teacher of the HIGH NINE ONE class, received second prize. The prizes were copper plaques, with quaint old world figures in fine relief. These were made and donated by Frances Henry’s father. The typing class typed all the material in the Wizard. Then it was sent to the school printer. ROSE BIAGI H9 H9 ART The first of the term the H9 art class competed for the making of a bookplate to be used for the books that the Burbank P. T. A. gave the Wes Berkeley Library. Janet Goodyear won the honor and the prize of one dollar. . , ___ . , The H9 class made the posters to advertise the H9 play, Wappin Wharf.” They also staged the play. The scenes were designed in the art department and constructed and painted by the H9’s. KERMIT JORGENSEN H9 (Sraiiuat? Nutas OUR BURBANK SCHOOL DAYS The older folks say that school days are the happiest of all, and that the ninth year is always the most important year of the junior high school years. Our feelings are interwoven with the spirit of Burbank Junior Hgh School and it is hard to leave for the upper high school. We have a very attractive building and we are proud of it. The school grows every term and I think its influence spreads as it grows. Although Burbank is the smallest of all the four junior high schools of Berkeley, it shows the other schools that it can do its part in participating in the different activities. It is always ready to make its best showing in the games and believes in winning with a smile and losing with a smile. The high ninth class has grown to be a part of Burbank School and it will always be a part of us as long as we live. When the time comes for us to leave this school and go to another school we shall still remember the hard-working days and also the pleasant days that we spent at Burbank Junior High School. KATHLEEN CURLEY H9 A MAP FOR THE NEWCOMERS When a new student comes to Burbank, he or she is often upset in finding rooms, even though he knows the numbers, especially when the numbering starts at the east end of the main building and goes down to the science building with the shops below. Then from there it skips up to the bungalows, which are numbered from twenty to thirty. If they go to the west end to look for room twenty-three and then find out that it is up at the east end where they came from, it is discouraging. They haven’t enough time, perhaps, to go back to the east end without being late, so one can’t blame the pupil for feeling strange and unhappy. Some of the boys who take Mechanical Drawing have made a scaled map of the whole block on which the school is located, putting in the rooms and their numbers. A print of this map is to be placed in each room and also a number are to be displayed in conspicuous places in the halls. VEIJO SEVO H9 SOCIAL SERVICE The girls in the sewing class are required to make something for social service. The girls in the high ninth grade make boys’ waists and baby clothes for social service. The clothes are then given to charity organizations by which they are given to the Day Nursery or poor children in private homes. The girls try their best to make the clothes neatly and most all of the girls do so. Miss Fisk is at the head of this and she sees to it that the girls do their work rightly. The girls in the high ninth grade are working on the boys’ waists now, and they ar e all done with the exception of about three or four. I am sure the girls enjoy working on these clothes, because they realize that they are giving assistance to someone in this way.

The food is wholesome, delicious, appetizing, and very inexpensive. It is cooked under the direction of Mrs. Derry and Mrs. Roth with the aid of two other women. The cafeteria is filling a long-felt want in Burbank School. It is acces- sible to every boy, girl, and teacher in the school. Quick service is given, it taking only twelve to fifteen minutes to serve all. The cafeteria is cozy and warm during the rainy season and the hot food on cold and wet days is particularly enjoyable. Mr. Preston and the Parent-Teachers’ Association worked hard to get the cafeteria and it is very much better patronized this term than it was last. DAISY STRACHAN H9 VOCATIONAL PICTURES In the commercial civics department w r e learn of the different vocations and how to secure positions in them. For many years the pupils have studied by means of the book. Now, our civics teacher, Mrs. Bennett, has arranged new methods, of which our principal and pupils have approved. The pupils are to select from the majority the main occupations which interest them. Mrs. Bennett has presented motion pictures of the occupa- tions selected. We have agreed to meet each Wednesday in the assembly hall, during the civics period. We give our attention to the pictures in order that they may be of some advantage to us. The purpose is to show the main details of the occupation selected. We are then to see if we have the ability to take the work, and if we shall succeed. Our first picture was called “Fresh from the Deep.” It was enjoyed, but did not appeal to some of those who are interested in other vocations. The next picture was more interesting, “Modern Banking.” After we have a bird’s eye view of a few of the many occupations, it will be much easier to decide which appeals to each pupil. We appreciate Mrs. Bennett’s effort to make this subject interesting. LILLIAN SINGH H9 LOW NINE ART CLASS The L9 class this year is taking an entirely different type of art from any ever taught in Burbank before. It is called Modern Design. Only two schools in Berkeley have the advantage of taking this course, Willard and Burbank. The first few lessons were a study of squares and circles. Then we began to make designs with them, working them out in charcoal. Gradually we worked up to abstract designs, some of which were done in color. I sav worked, because it certainly was hard work. It took us many days to get the idea of Modern Art, which can be explained like this: This is ail age of machinery, speeding automobiles, airplanes, and tiains. Evei ything is moving fast. We needed something to express our age and the speed of the age. The old art would not do, so we have adopted this new art. The class, at present, is working out abstract designs in charcoal. It is very fascinating. The many designs are of skyscrapers, machinery, and cities. One of the most interesting is of a modem city. The whole class enjoys the work, and hopes to accomplish much through the study. AVIS TERRY L9 COSTUMING A PLAY When we take up a play to make costumes, we must study the play in order to get an idea of what kind of characters are in the play and this gives us an idea of what kind of costumes must be made. A costume must explain itself and a good costume explains to the audience the mood of the character and gives a key to the atmosphere of the play. The more char- acter there is in a part ,the more stress must be laid on character in the costume. If the character is joyful, the costume must express happiness and must be of bright colors. If the scene is sad, the costume must show this mood; the lines and methods of draping, as well as the colors must be somber. A dress of satin and one of taffeta, both cut from the same pattern, will not look alike, for they hang differently. If you want material that is not expensive to assume the appearance of grace, it must drape like the expensive one. The costume must have harmony, that is the colors combined in the dress must harmonize. There is quite a bit of work in making costumes. The girls must sketch pictures first to show what kind of costumes are to be made. Then the patterns are bought or made by the girls. The material must then be purchased. Miss Fisk buys the material. The girls who are in the high ninth grade make the costumes and fit them onto the characters that are in the play. VIANA RINTALA H9 NEW PROJECTS The Burbank shop has been making very good progress lately. As usual, it is always trying to make something new. So far this term they have succeeded, for they have started quite a few new projects, for instance, they have been making a very artistic cigarette stand, which everyone who sees likes. One student made one, which many boys admne , so others are making similar ones. Several have been sold already to teachers and students. There have also been many stools or taborets made, which seem to sell quickly, too. These have three legs with wooden tops. Mr Frick has sent back east somewhere for parts to make fiooi lamps. Then all that is done is to put them together, making very lamps. The lamps can be got for a very reasonable price Another project this term is the making of music stands for the band and oichestra. The J se, together with lights which have been made to accompany each stand,’ make a very complete equipment.

Waugh Jeanette Stewart Sarah Most Mary M. Tomsen iEiitlorialH THE COTTAGES In the last few years the enrollment of pupils, in Burbank, has in- creased to such an extent that it has become a problem where to put the new ones. Each term brings new pupils, and many more come in than the number that go out. To accomodate these new pupils Burbank has had to build extra rooms which are separated from the main part of the building. When the rooms were built, they were sufficient to hold the number of pupils, but each new term has brought new pupils so that more and more cottages have been built and the result is a very patchy looking building. The bungalow cottages are lightly built and on hot days are very uncomfortable and the steam heat is an insufficient barrier for the cold in winter. A large extension to the main building is needed that will be more comfortable for both teachers and pupils. GEORGE BOCKRATH H9 BURBANK’S WORST FEATURE Burbank School’s worst feature is dancing in gymnasium. We go to gym for exercise, and to play games of different sorts. No one objects to arm and leg exercises, but almost everybody despises dancing. A good game of basketball, soccer, football, or baseball, will give a person, who has studied hard all day, more exercise, and will refresh him more, than doing some sort of a dance. A “gym” period is given us for refreshing our memories and bodies, but doing a folk dance lets us off just as bad as before. If we want to dance, we will learn a different kind of dance, that’s certain. Any body can see, that if they want arm, leg and body exercises, a good game of basketball, football, basketball, or soccer, will give them more and healthier exercise than a folk dance. There is fast, quick, and enjoyable exercise in a game, and in folk or any other kind of dance, there is not one half of that mentioned that is enjoyed. Other schools haven’t it, from what Mr Carlson said. So why do we have it? Mr. Carlson says, that we lead the other schools in dancing, but, they excel us in every- thing else, — mainly sports. I know both of the required dances, and many others do; but no one has any enjoyent in them, and all will very readily agree,,, that a game of any sort, is thousands of times better in every way “Gym” used to be a period of happiness to the students; but now it has been changed, by dancing, into a period of drugery and pain. FERDINAND MAUTZ L9 WHY BOYS ARE NOT ON THE HONOR ROLL There are many reasons why boys are not on the honor roll, and if you only knew half of the excuses that they give to their teacher, you would be surprised. Many boys think too much of playing, and many times too much of girls to do their homework. If their mothers ask them if they have any homework, they say, “Oh, I have time to do it tonight”, but it is never finished that night. Many boys don’t care about a subject, so they just don’t do their work in it, but many times, if the teacher makes them “snap” into it, they become honor students. PAUL KOSKI SCHOOL TRUANCY When you play truant from school, you aren’t hurting the teachers or anyone else, but yourself. You are losing a great deal of valuable information, that would come in handy sometime. You are, also, wasting the state’s money, because it cost a little over fifty dollars a term to edu- cate each pupil. You also get into a great deal of trouble. Those who have never played truant do not have half the trouble of those that have. The student that has played truant from school should just sum up the pleasures he has had, then the education he has missed, and last of all the trouble he has gotten himself in, both at home and at school. He would then see he has gained nothing at all by playing “hooky”. RUTH SUSTAD L9 ACCURACY In the business world people are affected by accuracy almost every day. In the typing world, there are always people who have to figure on the adding machine, and of course they have to be very accurate. If they made one mistake, the whole thing has to be done all over. There are other people who must also be accurate, those people are salesmen. When they are out on the “road” their time is very valuable, and they have to get certain orders for their employers. If the order goes through with a mistake in it, the employer is taken to “task” as well as the employee, by the people who ordered the paper or whatever it was. Therefore employees as well as employers should be accurate because they may sometimes lose a large money order. , . , , , Accuracy counts f or everything in this day and age, and if people aie not careful, they usually are told that their help is no longer wanted. Every- one should take heed and be accurate in all of his work. If everyone is accurate he will be lots happier in the world because his employer will be content with his work. laura CHApMAN L9 “DIRTY CORDS” Girls detest dirty cords, which about the middle of the term become so dirty we cannot tell their original color. They look as if they could stand alone and are termed “independent”. They often reveal the char- acter of the person who wears them. Many times the boy with clean cords is studious, brilliant, and very perfect when the teacher leaves the room. He is not a boy you meet every day, but out of the ordinary and seems to be unnatural. He will be lone- some until he finds a boy of his own type. The boy with dirty cords is usually carefree, mischievous, and says a word or two to his neighbor when the teacher leaves. After a few hard days’ work with fair wages he is anxious to buy a “fliver” or a “crate”, that is, an old Ford car, to take him over the road. He may leave it black with white trimmings such as “Rolls Roise”, “Four wheels, no brakes”. The boy with clean cords may and may not work. If he should happen to work a day, he would have his cords cleaned, or save the money for a new suit he intends to buy. They very often reveal the type of parents. A naughty boy with clean cords very often has parents who are old fashioned. Nevertheless dirty cords are very disgusting. They have more uses than one, additional ones are penwiper, hand- wiper, very often — floormop. EUNICE BOLTON L9 DIRTY CORDS We, the boys of Burbank school, set to ridicule anyone who might criticise our dirty cords. We have heard people ridiculously criticise our cords; especially ladies. Some say that dirty cords are the most slovenly and dirty thing a boy can wear ; others say a boy never looks neat when dressed in a pair of dirty cords, no matter how slick he has his hair combed, or how clean his shirt and face may be. There are others that criticise the bell bottoms of the cords, saying that they are taking the jobs from the street cleaners, because they appear to brush the sidewalk and street. Every now and then a father is heard knocking the cords but he sings a different song. He says boys should not be allowed to wear long pants when they are so young. Why ! he wore knee pants until he was seventeen years of age. How ridiculous! Well, we will have you know a thing or two, that is those people don’t understand boys’ ideas about dirty cords. First, that the wearer of a pair of cords that has the dirt spread on them, evenly, is very proud of them. That a pair of cords is just becoming wearable after a month’s time, the wearer, during this period, taking care that dirt goes on evenly. To wash a pair of cords, after wearing them a week or two, would mean complete ruin, for the cords will never become shapely, as they would if they were not washed. Within three months, the dirt is on quite evenly and has begun to get stiff; for the following three months, they are a pleasure to the wearer. We allow cords to be washed twice a year to give the old folks some degree of satisfaction. ALDEN RESPINE it fi ' om what Mr. Carlson said. So why do we have it ? Mr Carlson says, that we lead the other schools in dancing, but, they excel us in every- thing else, — mainly sports.

Therefore employees as well as employers should be accurate because they may sometimes lose a large money order. , .. . Accuracy counts for everything in this day and age, and if people aie not careful, they usually are told that their help is no longer wanted. Every- one should take heed and be accurate in all of his work. If everyone is accurate he will be lots happier in the world because his employer will be content with his work. LAURA CHAPMAN L9 “DIRTY CORDS” Girls detest dirty cords, which about the middle of the term become so dirty we cannot tell their original color. They look as if they could stand alone and are termed “independent”. They often reveal the char- acter of the person who wears them. Many times the boy with clean cords is studious, brilliant, and very perfect when the teacher leaves the room. He is not a boy you meet every day, but out of the ordinary and seems to be unnatural. He will be lone- some until he finds a boy of his own type. The boy with dirty cords is usually carefree, mischievous, and says a word or two to his neighbor when the teacher leaves. After a few hard days’ work with fair wages he is anxious to buy a “fliver” or a “crate”, that is, an old Ford car, to take him over the road. He may leave it black with white trimmings such as “Rolls Roise”, “Four wheels, no brakes”. The boy with clean cords may and may not work. If he should happen to work a day, he would have his cords cleaned, or save the money for a new suit he intends to buy. They very often reveal the type of parents. A naughty boy with clean cords very often has parents who are old fashioned. Nevertheless dirty cords are very disgusting. They have more uses than one, additional ones are penwiper, hand- wiper, very often — floormop. EUNICE BOLTON L9 DIRTY CORDS We, the boys of Burbank school, set to ridicule anyone who might criticise our dirty cords. We have heard people ridiculously criticise our cords; especially ladies. Some say that dirty cords are the most slovenly and dirty thing a boy can wear; others say a boy never looks neat when dressed in a pair of dirty cords, no matter how slick he has his hair combed, or how clean his shirt and face may be. There are others that criticise the bell bottoms of the cords, saying that they are taking the jobs from the street cleaners, because they appear to brush the sidewalk and street. Every now and then a father is heard knocking the cords but he sings a different song. He says boys should not be allowed to wear long pants when they are so young. Why ! he wore knee pants until he was seventeen years of age. How ridiculous! Well, we will have you know a thing or two, that is those people don’t understand boys’ ideas about dirty cords. First, that the wearer of a pair of cords that has the dirt spread on them, evenly, is very proud of them. That a pair of cords is just becoming wearable after a month’s time, the wearer, during this period, taking care that dirt goes on evenly. To wash a pair of cords, after wearing them a week or two, would mean complete ruin, for the cords will never become shapely, as they would if they were not washed. Within three months, the dirt is on quite evenly and has begun to get stiff; for the following three months, they are a pleasure to the wearer. We allow cords to be washed twice a year to give the old folks some degree of satisfaction. ALDEN RESPINE Z ' ' ffitterarn THE MAN OF THE DEATH POOL The Indians of the Trinity River section can tell you wierd stories. One that I heard was of an old man who, up to a year ago, lived in a little hut by the side of a deep pool of stagnant water. He never left the pool, and at night performed ghostly ceremonies by its side. His niece brought food to him which he would take, and all through the many years never make any reply to her questions. The old squaws of the tribe told how, long ago, the most beautiful maiden in the world, married the sun. They had two children, a boy and a girl. Although the son was loved by all people, he had inherited a fiery temper from his father, the sun, which caused him much grief. Therefore when his sister married his most deadly enemy, he became so angry that he cast the girl and her child into a pool. The husband waited until the brother married and then put a dreadful curse upon his children and their descendants. Thereafter some woman of the tribe, in each generation, would be drowned in the pool with her child, supposedly by evil spirits. This old man was a descendant of the cursed tribe. In his youth he had met a lovely girl. When they were married they traveled far away from the death pool because the curse had been fulfilled each generation and they hoped to escape such a fate. Soon after their tiny son was born, the husband, while hunting, came upon a pool exactly like the death pool ! In horror he started home to take his wife and son and flee. But the curse had started to work. His wife, with the baby strapped on her back, for some unknown reason came upon the pool. Something seemed to tell the hunter to return. He reached it just in time to see his wife slip on the muddy bank and fall into the pool. He had only time to clutch at the boy, which he saved, but the girl was instantly sucked under. By saving the baby he had broken the curse. Since that dreadful day he has been a madman. After his son had traveled away, he was left alone each night performing these ghostly cere- monies, hoping to bring back his wife. A year ago, in his grief, he jumped into the bottomless pool. The old squaws nod their heads and say that he and his wife are together once more in the “Happy Hunting Grounds.” FRANCES HENRY H9 WHAT THE WIND TOLD THE TREES Have you ever heard the message of the wind as it goes whistling through the trees? Perhaps it is a very still morning. The trees are laden with snow. When all is peaceful and calm, all of a sudden the wind arises and the branches are blown to and fro. The snow is soon thrown to the ground. It reminds one of a high-tempered old man causing trouble with- Then again at twilight when the shadows are lowering, can t you imagine the wind rustling through the trees, singing its lullabye to the blld Has the ' wind ' ever awakened you in the morning with its message to the trees?

Perhaps, it is telling great ocean and urging the brook to hurry on its way. But the woods is the place to really enjoy the wind. There it seems to have a mournful sound. Maybe it is trying to bring back the memory of the time when only Indians rambled beneath the branches. The wind is a mysterious thing! EVA IVERSEN H9 THE INDIAN LEGEND OF THE PINES An old Indian was sitting in the doorway of his little cabin on the side of a large mountain, when a group of merry children came around the bend of the path. “Good afternoon, Little River,’’ politely spoke the three children. After the old Indian had shown them his little pony and other animals, the children begged Little River for their favorite story, that of the Spears of the Great Gods. The old Indian, smilingly, seated himself and began the story “Once when my people were very powerful, there was a chief of the people called White Eagle. He was a good ruler of the peole and they loved him very much. His tribe of people was very powerful. Gradually they began to think only of themselves and forgot to worship their gods. This made the gods very angry and they met and resolved to punish the bad and unfaithful people of the tribe. One day a young girl approach the wigwam of the chief. Timidly she told him of her dream. ‘Oh ! Great White Eagle,’ she said, ‘I have had a curious dream. The god of War came to me and told me that destruction is coming to our tribe.’ ‘Oh, Little Star, how can any one conquer us ! We are so powerful and it takes many months to cover the lands of our tribes,’ answered White Eagle. Little Star left unconvinced. She knew that her dream would come true. One day the gods assembled and decided that the tribe should be pun- ished. Armed with spears, they went to the people. Chief White Eagle saw them coming and was very much frightened and he and his people dropped down and prayed for forgiveness. The ruler of the gods, the Great Sun, remembering how good he and his people were, forgave them. The other gods then planted their spears upright in the ground. Im- mediately they sprung up into great pines and the divinities disappeared, but the chief and his people were very thankful to the gods and always obeyed them.” As Little River finished his story, the children thanked him and promised to come again. They hurried homeward, down the narrow path on the mountainside, for the sun was getting low and they were hungry. JANET GOODYEAR H9 PRELUDE TO WINTER The West Wind laughed both loud and long With a chilly rhythm in his song, “You’ll not last long, you silly flowers, You’ll not have many happy hours, For today the treasures of the Earth Go back away from joy or mirth.” The flowers have drooped their dainty heads, For sorrow has filled their fragrant beds, And they shrink from the freezing air That dared to claim the summer’s lair. Zephyrus laughed and shook his head, “Ha!” cried he. “Your Summer is dead!” FRANCES HENRY H9 WHAT SCARES ME ON HALLOWE’EN Black cats’ eyes of baleful green, Are the spookiest things I’ve ever seen, And the ghosts all dressed in graveyard white, Make me run away in terrible fright. Ghosts are children dressed in sheets, Bats and owls make horrible squeaks, Jack o’lanterns grin and glow, As they sit shining in one long row. Brownies are flitting in and out, And goblins are dancing all about, Witches are riding broom-sticks high, Horrible sounds come out of the sky. Childrens’ horns are madly tooting, Owls from tree tops are mournfully hooting, All these things I’ve heard and seen, That’s why I’m scared on Hallowe’en. RUTH CLOVER H8 DAY CONQUERS NIGHT The wind blows free through the murmuring trees And the wolves go howling by; The bat flies into the dark blue night And the forest is filled with fright. Then over the hill comes the new bom day ; The birds begin their song, For the grass is like gold and covered with dew And the air is fresh anew. SLYVIA HEINO H9 MY LITTLE PAL AND I I wish I could live again, In the good old days gone by, A roaming through the fields of green, Just my little pal and I. Those were the days — the happy days, That brighten the years slipping by, As in memories do we roam again, Just my little pal and I. JOSEPH LEXIREA L8 HALLOWEEN One Halloween, I wasn’t scared, So I went where no one dared. ’Twas at the graveyard near the church, Where close by grew the birch. I saw a ghost, a goblin, a witch, Talking together in a ditch. My hair, it all stood upon end. If God would wings but lend, I’d fly away from this place of the dead. And I’d climb in my little bed. GEORGE TALLONE H7 THE MESSAGE OF THE CLOUDS sometimes when you gaze up at the clouds, you realize that they are delivering messages to the earth. Usually the clouds resemble balls of cotton, and they seem almost close enough to touch. They are sometimes gentle and meek, and many times you feel sure that they will let you ride on them. Clouds also get very angry and resemble roaring, angry giants. Those aie the times when they threaten and you feel like running away from them into the house. Piobably they are bringing’ ill-forboding messages to mankind from the gods. Perhaps, they carry the thunder bolt of Jupiter At other times they feel sorry for the poor farmers and bring him rain so his crops can grow. Those are the times when people realize that they should bow down and thank the clouds for their kindness. ELEANOR OLIVER H9 YOSEMITE I think my trip last summer to Yosemite National Park was the most interesting one I have ever experienced. We camped out in the open, under beautiful redwood trees, just in sight of Half Dome, that majestic crag, the king of the valley. Every morning when we awoke, we were greeted by the songs of many birds, many of which were not familiar to us. Early in the forenons we took trails that lead us to the more beautiful places in the park. Yosemite Falls was wonderful, so misty and white. Nevada Falls was awe-expiring, a great rush of water down a steep precipice. We arrived at Mirror Lake one morning just as the sun was rising, casting the dancing shadows across the smooth surface of the shiny water. Gazing down upon the surface of the water, we saw our own faces mirrowed. If I had a chance I should like to spend more time in the beautiful Yosemite Valley exploring its beauties. CHARLENE KINSER L8 ORIGIN OF THE GRAND CANYON Many years ago there were many estates of farmers in a very fertile region. The farmers became very selfish as their wealth grew larger. They didn’t let any chance of gaining more wealth go by, even if they had to use thieving plans in order to get it. They even tried to ruin their fellow farm- ers by stealing their cattle or land and by other methods. The farmers for- ced the waters of a nearby river to irrigate their lands. The water nymphs became more and more inclined to put a stop to the bad conduct of the P e opl® of this region. Finally, their anger towards the fanners reached its highest pitch. They compelled their waters to swell until all the gieedy faimeis were washed from the face of the earth. That is how the deep canyons of the Grand Canyon were formed.

They had all of their utensils with them on the stage. First Mr. Howell blew a large ball and then he put some mercury inside of it. He also blew a flower vase, a stork, a blood testing thermometer, and an hour glass. Then his wife put some glass on a wheel and Mr. Howell spun seme glass thread. He also blew some glass so fine that it floated in the air looking- like a large snake. Then he asked some boy to come on the stage and it happened to be Billy Most. He gave him a trick pipe with some water in it. He told him to blow with all his might and when he blew it, all of the water came out into his face. The school all alughed at him but Billy did not mind. Later we all got a glass pen as a gift which Mr. Howell had made for us. ELVIE AALTO H8 The entire student body gathered along University Avenue to welcome home the California Crew who won the championship of the world at Holland. The girls brought flowers, and the boys blue and yellow balloons. When the crew arrived, the flowers were thrown at them and the balloons let loose and everyone cheered. At the beginning of the parade the California band played as they walked up the Avenue. Then the crew came, followed by students of the University. There also were floats provided by the city. AILI MORK H8 On September 6 and 7, the low seventh classes under the direction of Miss Santos and Miss Truman, gave an afternoon and evening performance of “The Pageant of California.” A dance followed the evening program. Admission was charged, and from the proceeds magazines for the school use were bought. In brief, colorful scenes the pageant showed the great events in the History of California from the discovery of America to the granting of Statehood. This pageant was very beautiful from an artistic point of view and exceedingly interesting from a historical view point. TAIMI KURRI H8 On Sept. 14, Dr. Stanley Hunter came to talk to us about “The New Mexico.” He told us many interesting things about the country and about a Mr. Armstrong who was interested in the Mexicans and who got in contact with them everywhere by giving a free taffy pull. ROSE MARSICANO H8 On September 21, 1928 we had a very enjoyable musical program. The opening number was played by the orchestra. This was followed by a piano solo by Raymour Johnson. Then the whole school sang “California, I’m in Love with You” and “Santa Lucia”. Johny Vine and Harold Lent played a duet on their trumpets. The “Girls Glee Club” sang two numbers which were very good. In closing, “America the Beautiful was sung by the school. . . . , . j ,, These musicals give us an opportunity to hear our glee clubs and the talented musical pupils of the school. WERNEE m On September 28, 1928 the girls’ Association of Burbank School .ar- ranged a program for the girls, under the direction of Mrs. Wilkes. Theie wprp attractive program cards for the entertainment. . -� � • There were readings by Miss Wilhemina Smart, and singing y • Clarence Page and Mrs! Harold Johnson, who were accompanied by Mrs. Alice Otto The school had a hundred per cent in Middies.

I am sure all the girls enjoyed the afternoon. T-r-nr T7IH.T mDCOM XT S On September 28, 1928 the Boys’ A“tion met in the gym The band played some spirited selected djh an most important part of Monroe gave a team, but remained always a substitute. lloyd LICH tenSTERN H8 On Oct. 5, Mrs. Waugh’s class presented a play adapted from “Little Men.” It was one of the best plays of this term. KATHLEEN HAMPTON H8 “A Dream of Health” was the play Mr. McDermont wrote for his class and which appeared on the stage on October 12, 1928. Lila Aho was the important speaker of the afternoon. John Clark and Edward Maki of the L8 ' gave an amusing comedy dialogue and clog dance. James Kness re- cited very well Joaquin Miller’s “Columbus.” The band’s best trumpet players, John Vinn of the L8 ' and Harold Lent of the L8 ' , played a due t which we all enjoyed. ADA CONNORS H8 A five act play from the Lady of the Lake was given by Miss Truman’s class, the low ninth, on October 19th. The play was given without costumes or scenery. The audience were asked to use their own imagination in dressing the characters, and decorat- ing the stage. The pupils who took part in the play showed great capability in re- citing their long parts. They made the scenes very interesting and realistic and the play on the whole was very good. MYRTLE ELSS H8 The Magic Mirror, a Hallowe’en play presented to the school on Oct. 26, by the H8 class, was a brilliant success. The setting was out of doors in a corn field. The different colored lights had a charming effect on the scenes in which the Brownies, Fairies, Goblins, and Ghosts dance accom- panied by the weird music played by the Orchestra. The speaking parts were by Myrtle Elss, Robert Fyfe, Russell Walters, Kathleen Hampton, Andrew Thompsen, and Robert Scott. ROBERT SCOTT H8 On November 16, Miss Brockliss’ low 8’ class gave the play “Old Sleuth”. Everybody enjoyed it because it had a good detective plot which held one’s interest to the last. ROBERT FYFE H8 ARMISTICE DAY OBSERVANCE On Friday, November 9, all of the pupils of Burbank School were out side to present a Field Day program and t ocommemorate Armistice Day. After the posture parade, Mr. Preston introduced representatives from the Army, Navy, the American Legion, and the Red Cross. There were two representatives from the Army, Mr. Angus White and Miss A. Robinson. Mr. White made a speech about the time he went over the top in the late war, which interested the children very much. He said that someone had given him a chew of tobacco and when they were going over the top a shell exploded about fifteen feet behind him. The explosion picked him up and carried him through the air about thirty feet and he swallowed the tobacco on the way, which made him so sick that he didn’t care if he was captured or not. He said that he has never wanted to chew tobacco since, and if one wanted to quit chewing tobacco, just swallow some ot it once. Mr. A. 0. Donough from the Legion told about the Legion and the Memorial Hall in Berkeley. He read the Standard for which the American Legion stands. He invited all of the children and their parents to come to the Memorial Hall which is located at Grove and Center Streets. The Red Cross representative was Miss Wright. Grover Carlson, the gymnasium teacher at the Burbank School, had fought in the Argonne. Mr. McDeront, a science teacher here at the school, had done soe chemical research work during the war. Mr. McCaleb, also a teacher at the school, was the representative of the Navy. Mr. Williams during the war was doing valuable work in the ship yards. Mrs. Wilkes read the names of the Burbank boys who had been killed during the war. They were: Cladius Vinther, Rollie Ramos, John Gazanago, James Gimbal, Martin Dahl, Edward Werner, and Elmer Jensen. After reading the names of the boys she quoted: “Your souls shall be where the heroes are, And your memory shine like the morning star.’ After these names were read there was a silent tribute and taps were played by John Vinn of the L8 class. Following this, the whole school sang “America the Beautiful . DOROTHY SCOTT L8 THE NINTH GRADE PLAY “Wappin’ Wharf”, a blood-curdling pirate play of Charles S. Brooks, was uniquely produced in two performances and by two different casts. The setting is laid in a hut perched on the wind-swept coast of England. This pirate band has prospered well on Darlin’s grog and “roast pig that crackles”. The life of landlubbers seems to please them well, so they have retired altogether from the sea. The friendly beams from a nearby light- house prompt them to villany. By “dousing the lighthouse light” and setting up old Flint’s lantern on the cliff, they beckon passing vessels to their doom, and thereupon, greedily stuff their pockets with the treasure. Finally, this band becomes so destructive that the Prince of Wales determines to rid the coast of pirates. Assuming the disguise of a pirate himself, he goes to live among them and is able to sa ve the “Royal Harry” from de- struction, as well as to lead her sailors to the pirate haunt. Through the intervention of Betsy,, who has long been befriended by Darlin’ and the pirate crew, he pardons the whole band and discovers that Betsy is really the Dutchess of Cornwall. Although Betsy’s hand has been sought by each of the pirates in turn, she becomes the wife of Prince Hal and finally the Queen of England.

This was a Christmas play and given in honor of the Parent Teachers’ Associa- tion. The scene of the play was laid in the little town of Judea. The time was A. D. BO. The play made us all realize that the simplest gift of the poor given unselfishly is the best gift of all. The cast was as follows: JOEL, a little lame boy HAROLD LENT HULDAH, the woman of the house EILEEN HENDERSHOT MALACHI, her old father BYRON La MONT GABRIEL and MARTHA, Neighbor’s Children EDMUND FLECK, JEANETTE BISHOP, STANLEY DORN STANLEY DORN H82 On December 7, a very successful dramatization of Hiawatha was given by an allstar cast selected from the High 8 ' and High 8 ' classes. Evelyn Page was Minnehaha, the brave little Indian girl whose death in the fifth scene was quite pathetic. Martin Ringbom represented Hiawatha as a child, and George Fredricks as a youth. Newahaha was very well interpreted by John Parker. RUSSELL WALTERS H8 December 13. First there was a program, then a pattering on the floor, But it only meant the high nine class would be seen together no more. The program consisted of music by the Glee Clubs, an address by Dr. Smith, the superintendent of the Berkeley schools, and the reading of the names of the graduates and of the honor students. ELMER TAMPINEN December 14, 1928 seemed a long ways off just a few months ago, but here it is. The children of the Day Nursery are here and have received thir play things made by the shop classes. The Christmas songs are sung, and along with the thrill of promotions is the greater thrill of Christmas expectations. ELLEN CREWDSON H8 On the fourth day of December, 1928, the L8 ' ' ' class gave a very interesting play in honor of the Parent Teachers’ Association. STANLEY DORN H8 THE SEVENTH GRADE PROGRAMS The seventh grades met together for the first time on August 26. Mr. Preston welcomed the low seventh classes to Burbank School. Arrangements were made for the seating of students in the assembly hall. A very enjoyable program was given on August 23 by Mr. and Mrs. Howell, who entertained us by making glass ornaments and spinning glass. In order to show their appreciation, they left some ornaments to the school and gave each child a glass pen for a souvenir. On August 30 the seventh grades joined with the other grades to welcome home the California Crew. The children were placed on both sides of University Avenue with flowers and balloons. All the L7 grades, under the direction of Miss Truman, Miss Streightiff, and Miss Santos, presented a California Pageant on September 6. There were two performances, one in the afternoon and one in the evening. The evening performance was followed by a dance. Those who participated should feel well repaid by the excellent results of their efforts. The L7 class, with the help of the band, gave a musical entertainment under the direction of Miss Steinmetz. The program consisted of two numbers by the band, some scenes from the Pageant, and vocal, violin, and piano solos. We are happy to have so much musical talent among our low sevenths. An historical program was presented by the H7 and H7 ' classes under the direction of Mrs. Stewart. The play showed several incidents in the life of Benjamin Franklin. The performers acted so well we thought it was real. At this time speeches from the candidates for the office of president of the seventh grades were heard. Fay Bell, Gregory Luna, and Motoki Yatabe were the candidates. The Burbank Girls’ Association, under the direction of Mrs. Wilkes, held a jinks on September 28. The program opened with a speech from the president, Daphne Shackelford. Some very delightful duets were sung by Mrs. Page and Mrs. Johnson, who were accompanied by Mrs. Otto. Miss Smart presented some comical readings. Dancing in the gymnasium fol- lowed and the music was furnished by Avis Terry and Grace Vetter. On the same day, the Burbank Boys’ Association was greeted by Ross Price, the President. We were very fortunate to have Mr. Monroe, a Boy Scout Excutive, talk to us about outdoor life. Music was furnished by the band, Alvin Songey, and Miss Steinmetz. A delightful movie was selected by Mrs. Skimmings and was shown to us on October 4. The movie was called “Chris and the Wonderful Lamp.” Everybody enjoyed it. Mr. McCaleb introduced Mr. George Tonkin, United States Game War- den on October 11. The title of Mr. Tonkin’s speech was “Conservation of Wild Life,” which interested all of us. A very instructive movie was furnished by Mr. Willmann on October 18. The movie was called “What Price Fire?” It showed us how easily a forest fire may be started by someone’s carelessness or willfulness. The H7 ' class gave a play entitled “The Staff and the Fiddle.” It was given under the instruction of Mrs. Stewart on October 25. The play told the story of a poor fiddler who rescued a lovely princess from the cave of an ugly troll. It was cleverly enacted and was highly enjoyed, particularly the humorous parts. CORNELIA NEUSTADTER H7 Atljbttra OUR GYMNASIUM SYSTEM The gymnasium system of Burbank School is worked so that one day the girls are inside and the next day the boys are. This is done to prevent the gymnasium from becoming crowded. When it rains the boys and girls both go inside. When the boys go outside they are allowed to play soccer, baseball, football or basketball. This is also true of the girls. When inside we have to practice our gymnasium dances and exercises for field day. If any class is good in the dances and exercises they can play games. Our gymnasium directors are Mrs. Murphy and Mr. Carlsen. They direct all the school teams and gym classes. The boys do not seem to take to dancing very well. Every time we practice they are grouchy and grumble. The girls are different, they like the dances but some of them dislike the exercises while the boys do them without grumbling. GINO MARCHIESKI L8 ' GIRLS’ ATHLETICS The girls’ volley ball season at Burbank was spent in a series of Inter- Junior High School games. On October 1st, the Burbank eighth and ninth grade teams played the Willard teams at Burbank. The games were won by Willard but both schools exhibited an extremely fine spirit. Two games were played by the eighth grade teams Willard winning by a score of 15 to 1 and 15 to 5 respectively. The ninth grade games seemed to be the most exciting. Burbank won the first game 15 to 5, and, as Willard won the next game 15 to 9 a third game was played to determine the winner. This last game was the most exciting of all. It was won by Willard with a score of 15 to 13. Burbank’s eighth and ninth grade teams played Garfield’s teams on October 2nd, at Burbank. The Garfield players were dressed in their attractive orange and white gym-suits. Garfield won the eighth grade games 15 to 3 and 15 to 8. The second ninth grade game was very ex- citing. The ninth grade games were won by Garfield, 15 to 5 and 15 to 12. On October 8th, Edison’s eighth and ninth grade teams played Bur- bank’s teams at Edison. At this game our cheer leader, Sadie Luokkala, assisted by Edith Schroth, led Burbank’s fairly numerous rooters in some snappy yells. This time, as at all other times, both schools showed very good sportsmanship. Edison won the eighth grade games 15 to 3 and 15 to 5. The first ninth grade game was won by Edison with a score of 15 to 5. The second ninth grade game was the best game of all. For a long time it looked as though Burbank was going to win. The score was 14 to 5, Burbank’s favor and Burbank’s serve. However, Edison proved too strong for them and after a breath-taking game won, 15 to 14. This season, although Burbank lost all of her games, she had the best school spirit she has ever before shown. The girls now have a swimming club. For a long time they have wanted one and now their wish has been fulfilled. Beginning November 7th, they will swim at the Richmond Baths under the instruction of Mrs. Hoddell. Soccer has been coming along fine. Although some girls are not inter- ested in volley ball it seems that everyone is interested in soccer. Come on! Let’s all work together and be so good in sports and show such good sportsmanship that Berkeley will be prouder than ever of Bur- bank Junior High School. The boys’ volley ball teams of the eighth and ninth grades started the season with Willard as their opponent. Willard come out on top in both games. On October second, we played Garfield at Garfield and again our opponent was victorious. Burbank went down to defeat at the hands of Edison in the last game of the series. Although the boys lost all of their games they showed some fine playing and had an enjoyable season. The eighth grade team was composed of the following: BETTY CATTERTON L8 ' BOYS’ ATHLETICS VOLLEY BALL Emile Turpin Clarence Smith Ake Lilja Raymond Winters Rubin Andersen George Fredericks Valeo Lucas Elmer Tanpinen Maitlo Biagi (Captain) Edward Borbo The ninth grade team had for its members : Thelmo Bianucci Ross Price Alfred Krapp Russell Tevlin George Bockrath David Bettencourt Louie Encalada Roy Price (Captain) Peter Turturice JOHN ROOT L8 ' Atljlrttrs OUR GYMNASIUM SYSTEM The gymnasium system of Burbank School is worked so that one day the girls are inside and the next day the boys are. This is done to prevent the gymnasium from becoming crowded. When it rains the boys and girls both go inside. When the boys go outside they are allowed to play soccer, baseball, football or basketball. This is also true of the girls. When inside we have to practice our gymnasium dances and exercises for field day. If any class is good in the dances and exercises they can play games. Our gymnasium directors are Mrs. Murphy and Mr. Carlsen. They direct all the school teams and gym classes. The boys do not seem to take to dancing very well. Every time we practice they are grouchy and grumble. The girls are different, they like the dances but some of them dislike the exercises while the boys do them without grumbling. GINO MARCHIESKI L8 ' GIRLS’ ATHLETICS The girls’ volley ball season at Burbank was spent in a series of Inter- Junior High School games. On October 1st, the Burbank eighth and ninth grade teams played the Willard teams at Burbank. The games were won by Willard but both schools exhibited an extremely fine spirit. Two games were played by the eighth grade teams Willard winning by a score of 15 to 1 and 15 to 5 respectively. The ninth grade games seemed to be the most exciting. Burbank won the first game 15 to 5, and, as Willard won the next game 15 to 9 a third game was played to determine the winner. This last game was the most exciting of all. It was won by Willard with a score of 15 to 13. Burbank’s eighth and ninth grade teams played Garfield’s teams on October 2nd, at Burbank. The Garfield players were dressed in their attractive orange and white gym-suits. Garfield won the eighth grade games 15 to 3 and 15 to 8. The second ninth grade game was very ex- citing. The ninth grade games were won by Garfield, 15 to 5 and 15 to 12. On October 8th, Edison’s eighth and ninth grade teams played Bur- bank’s teams at Edison. At this game our cheer leader, Sadie Luokkala, assisted by Edith Schroth, led Burbank’s fairly numerous rooters in some snappy yells. This time, as at all other times, both schools showed very good sportsmanship. Edison won the eighth grade games 15 to 3 and 15 to 5. The first ninth grade game was won by Edison with a score of 15 to 5. The second ninth grade game was the best game of all. For a long time it looked as though Burbank was going to win. The score was 14 to 5, Burbank’s favor and Burbank’s serve. However, Edison proved too strong for them and after a breath-taking game won, 15 to 14. This season, although Burbank lost all of her games, she had the best school spirit she has ever before shown. The girls now have a swimming club. For a long time they have wanted one and now their wish has been fulfilled. Beginning November 7th, they will swim at the Richmond Baths under the instruction of Mrs. Hoddell. Soccer has been coming along fine. Although some girls are not inter- ested in volley ball it seems that everyone is interested in soccer. Come on! Let’s all work together and be so good in sports and show such good sportsmanship that Berkeley will be prouder than ever of Bur- bank Junior High School. The boys’ volley ball teams of the eighth and ninth grades started the season with Willard as their opponent. Willard come out on top in both games. On October second, we played Garfield at Garfield and again our opponent was victorious. Burbank went down to defeat at the hands of Edison in the last game of the series. Although the boys lost all of their games they showed some fine playing and had an enjoyable season. The eighth grade team was composed of the following: BETTY CATTERTON L8 ' BOYS’ ATHLETICS VOLLEY BALL Emile Turpin Clarence Smith Ake Lilja Raymond Winters Rubin Andersen George Fredericks Valeo Lucas Elmer Tanpinen Maitlo Biagi (Captain) Edward Borbo The ninth grade team had for its members: Thelmo Bianucci Ross Price Alfred Krapp Russell Tevlin George Bockrath David Bettencourt Louie Encalada Roy Price (Captain) Peter Turturice JOHN ROOT L8 ' SOCCER The boys’ soccer ball season started off in good order with the high nines and low nines playing the opening game. The high nines won as was predicted by everyone but the low nines themselves. The low and high sevens played the next game on October 22nd. The final score was 1 to 0 with the high sevens on top. Two days later the high nines beat the high eights 2 to 0. On October 26th, fate decided that the low eights would beat the high sevens 1 to 0. The low nines defeated the high eights on Octber 29th with the final score 1- to 0. As there are about nine more games to be played I cannot predict the winning teams. ALLAN NELSON L8 ' FIELD DAY The week from November fifth to November ninth is Education Week, which is a week set aside in the United States for the observance of edu- cational ideals. On November ninth we observed Field Day. The classes assembled and were accompanied by the band. Mr. Preston led the classes in the Flag salute. Annie Oliver led the Irish Lilt Dance, which turned out to be a howling success. Miss Helen Maslin, assistant supervisor of Physical Education in Berkeley, led the Calisthenics. The band accompanied Mr. Carlsen in the Chest Weight Drill. Three girls, Phyllis Hirish, Maxine Hogan and Gertrude McCone led the Crested Hen. Following this the classes held the relay races. In the girl’s relay the L8 team won with following girls running: Helen Moniz, Florence Silvia, Munnabel Herise- mon, Ruby March, Sylvia Sairanen, Clara Silva, Helen Propp. In the boys’ relay race the H8 took first place with these boys on their team: Marvin Seevers, Robert Shoemaker, Valeo Lucas, George Listman, Russel Walters, Carl Lover, Robert Fife. Following all of the Field Day and Armistice Day program there were games of volley ball both in the gym and outside. On the large field was a soccer game between a picked team and the L9 boys, the picked team winning 1 to 0. The L8 boys played volley ball against the H7 boys, the H7’s winning by a very close score. On the other volley ball court the L8 girls defeated the H7 girls by a very decisive score. In the gym the H8 boys played the H9 boys, the latter team winning two games by safe margins. The posture parade was won by the L9 class, which did the best marching seen at Burbank this term. Field Day was a great success due to the gym teachers, the good work of the students and the help of the band. ALLAN NELSON L8 ' ICibranj CO-OPERATION BETWEEN THE SCHOOL AND LIBRARY The library is not only continually co-operating with the school, but is also teaching the children, and building their ideas and ambitions on outside life. If you care for y our school in any way, help in this co-opera- tion. There are many ways in which you may assist. You have realized already if you are a sane person, that the library is a place of business not of fun. The city furnishes perfectly good playgrounds for exercising. The library is a place of business and not a playground. There is also another point to recognize, and that is that when ever you are in doubt about anything there is always a kind librarian to help you, so please do your part in the co-operation. Make known to her your needs, and she will do her best to secure in- formation or books for you. The librarians have arranged the following list of books, for children’s reading, which may be suggestive, if you do not know what book you desire. WEST BERKELEY BRANCH LIBRARY Suggested list for ordering new juvenile books to be used by the boys and girls of the Burbank Junior High School: Abbot — Blue Jackets of 1918 Dodd $2.50 Adams — Silver Tarn Macmillan 2.00 Adams — Toto and the Gift Macmillan 2.00 Alcott — Eight Cousins (Beacon Hill Bookshelf) Little 2.00 Alcott — Under the Lilacs (if in above edition) Altsheler — Scouts of Stonewall Appleton 1.75 Altsheler — Sword of Antietam Appleton 1.75 Bill — High Roads of Peril Little 2.00 Clemens — Adv. of Tom Sawyer, illus. by Brehm Harper 2.50 Clemens — Huckelberry Finn, illus. by Brehm Harper 2.50 Crump — Og, Son of Fire Dodd 2.00 Curtis — Little Maid of Old Philadelphia Penn 1.50 Darling — Baldy of Nome ;.. __ Penn 2.50 Driggs — Adv. of Arnold Adair, American Ace ..

This club has a hike on the last Sunday of each month. The boys usually start out at 6:45 a. m. and return by 6:30 p. m. Very rarely does a member miss a hike. The club’s favorite hiking ground is Marin County for there the nature lover finds his trees, shrubs, ferns, hills, and streams. The club has an overnight hike about once every term. That is the gala time. Any boy who misses this affair is to be pitied. Mr. Willmann, the club’s leader, is an experienced outdoor man and his plans are always enthusiastically received. He is very eager to get more “live wire” members for his club. Come on all of you boys who want to join a real boys’ club! At the beginning of the term the club posted the following schedule: CARLO MANNISTO H9 BURBANK BOYS’ HIKING CLUB— SCHEDULE OF HIKES, FALL OF 1928 Date Meeting Place Time Fare Route— Description Aug.

GIRL RESERVE’S CLUB In the eighteenth century a group of girls who wanted to learn how T to cook, got together and formed a little club. Later a secretary of the Y. W. C. A. offered to help them and soon the little club grew until it was called the “Girl Reserve’s Club.” Now it has members throughout the world. We Burbank girls hold our meetings in the cottage opposite the school every Thursday after school. The dues are ten cents a month. Vernie Tolley is the president and Toshi Yatabe is the secretary and treasurer. The director is Miss Lucile Collans. There are a few members in the club but there is room for more and every girl is welcome. At each meeting we do some kind of work, such as: making bags, beaded flowers, or cooking. Next spring we are planning to take the train to Mill Valley where we will spend the week end at a little cottage. From there we intend to hike on Sunday afternoon to Mount Tamalpais. Every month we have inner club meetings at the Y. W. C. A. One or two representatives go from our club. There are clubs at schools and at churches. Each club has a name or motto. Our club motto is “Scatters of Sunshine” and it is called the “S. 0. S.” Toshi Yatabe is our inner club president. The sixteenth of November we are going to have a Thanksgiving party or social. The members of the club can invite any of their friends and it well be from eight o’clock until about ten-thirty and we all expect to have a very good time. EVA ESMOND H7 KODAK CLUB Sixteen pupils were admitted to the Kodak Club this term. They sub- mitted successful photographic snaps, which they had developed from the negative. Before these snaps were made, the students studied reflection and refraction of the light lenses and the use of chemicals in photography. Each term the club supplies the school with a dozen photographs show- ing the Burbank activities. These pictures are pasted into a book and they present a ph otographic history of our school since the year 1921 (the year that the club was started). Burbank appreciates the work of the Kodak Club. It is a club which is always willing to cooperate with all other organizations. The Wizard is particularly indebted to it because each term it supplies the snap shots for the activity page. Mr. McDermont, the popular science teacher, is the sponsor of the club, and a great deal of the credit for the club’s success is due to his efforts. RUBY MARCH L8 RED CROSS SERVICE The Burbank School has contributed its annual number of Christmas boxes to the Red Cross for the children of Guam. Many interesting gifts were put into the boxes. Many classes bought dolls and dressed them in both party and street dresses to illustrate the styles of our country. The cooking classes recently made fifty glasses of jelly for the Red Cross to send to the soldiers in Livermore. The annual enrollment money has been collect- ed and we still continue to serve. We are planning to send our Christmas number of the “Wizard” to the Philippines and also to countries in Europe. THELMO BIANUCCI H9 THE BOYS’ SWIMMING CLUB This club meets every Wednesday in Mr. Williams’ shop to study life guard work. We go swimming every other Thursday. This club is not only for the boys of Burbank School but for any one who is interested. Each trip costs thirty-five cents and we leave Burbank School at four-thirty. The leader is Mr. Williams, with Mr. Frick, Mr. McDermont, and Mr. Willmann assisting. Part of the money collected pays for gasoline. An- other part pays for our entrance to the tank. A third part goes for a big entertainment which is to be held at the end of the year. The club members are working for the “Red Cross Life Saving Insignia,” to be placed on the front of the bathing suits. This is made possible by the instruction of Mr. Williams, who is a life guard examiner of the Red Cross. All of the swim- mers have to pass a test before they receive one of these insignias. The test consists of jumping into nine feet of water with the clothes and shoes on, undressing, then swimming twenty-five yards, lifting twenty pounds of iron or rubber out of the deep water, learning all of the different ways of pulling a drowning person out of deep water, how to carry him to dry land to apply artificial respiration by the prone pressure method. Although the club is growing and has twenty-five members, we want every boy in the school to feel as if we want him to join us as the club is for the benefit of all. BILLIE COOLEY H9 THE SHINGLE SHACK The Shingle Shack is situated at 1371 Hearst Avenue. There is where the Burbank girls who belong to one of the five different clubs meet. Three of the most important activities of the term have been the Halloween party, the swimming meet, and the Wavelets’ (one of the five clubs) all day picnic at John Hinkle Park. The preparation for the spring tournament, which all the five clubs participate in ; and the preparation for the Christmas bazaar which is to be held on December first claimed much of the interest of the girls. ELLEN CARLSON H8 THE GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB The girls sang very well at the Rivoli Theatre and at Berkeley High School last spring so Mr. Preston decided to have a Girls’ Glee Club every year and to hold the meetings every Thursday during the eighth period and at the noon hour on special occasions. At the first part of the term, Miss Gilbert asked all of the girls who liked music and who could sing to join a club, and in this way quite a number of girls came together and formed a club. We members enjoy it very much. It gives us a wonderful opportunity to learn some fine music and sing some very good two and three part songs. Any girl from the low eighth and up may join but they are expected to come regularly and to work hard. At the beginning of the term we had quite a number of girls but some gradually stopped coming. There are about thirty members now. Next term we expect to have more. LOLA V. TAYLOR L8 THE BOYS’ GLEE CLUB The Boys’ Glee Club was organized and started sometime in September. We began using only twenty minutes of the Thursday assembly period, but Mr. Preston allowed us to use forty minutes of the Thursday period. The following boys are in the Glee Club: The High Part : Donald Sheers Ferdinand Mantz Arthur McKrindle Clare Cooley Tony Decosta James Crouch Roscoe Lynch Carlo Mannisto Henry Jasper Edmund Flick The Low Part: Alfred Johnson Leon Fritz William Farber Alfred Ness Richard Tucker Elsworth Straube Paul Girsch Russel Tevlin James White Pete Turturice When we first started the Glee Club we only had about ten boys in it. There are now twenty boys in the Glee Club and we hope that we can have at least fifty boys in it by the end of the term. WILLIAM FARBER L9 THE PARENT TEACHERS’ ASSOCIATION The most important reason for having the Parent Teachers’ Associa- tion is to establish a more friendly relationship between home and school. The Parent Teachers’ Association has done many things this term. For instance, they purchased fifty dollars worth of books for the library and financed the Alumni Reception. Another thing which they have done is give money to the Student Aid, which helps children to confine at school, who, otherwise, would have to leave school and go to work. The Parent Teachers’ Association also furnishes costumes for children who are not able, finacially, to get them, whenever the school gives plays. They also helped the school at the tea given on Armistice Day. HELEN MORK H8 Alumni FRANKLIN - BURBANK ALUMNI Before the war, in 1916 and 1917, the first Alumni Association was formed and many enjoyable affairs were given. The war ended that, how- ever, for the boys of the Alumni lost no time in enlisting in the service of their country. This year the Franklin-Burbank Alumni has been revived. On the evening of October 26, over three hundred graduates of Burbank met to- gether “For auld lang syne”. The meeting was held in the Burbank Audi- torium, and after the program a reception and dance was enjoyed in the gymnasium. The affair was sponsored by a school committee of teachers consisting of Mr. A. McDermont, Mrs. Tomsen, Mrs. Carrie Lee Bennett, and Mr. James T. Preston, principal. The following committees worked hard and are to be congratulated upon the results of their efforts: Program — George Lavezzola, Miss Aylene Burnham, Mrs. Gladys Head Pratt. Publicity — Mrs. Marie Miller Farwell, and Henry Oltman. Dance — Burnham Newell, Donald Smith. Patrons and patroness — Mrs. Emma S. Wilkes, Ethel Ahlgren, Edith Ahl- gren. Decorations — Miss Louisa Santos, Phillip Amata. Executive — Mrs. Karen Cloos Andersen, Stanley Larsen, Wayne Hill. The program was given by members of the Alumni and was opened with a piano solo by Miss Ethel Lauterback. Mr. Preston gave a few words of welcome and stressed the necessity of forming a permanent organization by electing a president, vice president, treasurer and secretary. His sug- gestion was acted upon and Mr. Wayne Hill was duly nominated and elected as the first president of the new Burbank Alumni Association. Mr. George Lavezzola was elected vice president, Mrs. Marie Miller Farwell, Secretary, and Mr. James T. Preston, treasurer. The next number on the program was “Specialty Dances” by Miss Norma Head and Miss Augusta Doell. Both the dances and costumes were original and the clever accompaniment of Mr. Elmer Nicholson added to the enjoyment of this number. The treat of the evening, however, was a trumpet solo by Frank Siegriest, a graduate of December, 1914. Siegriest was soloist with Paul Whiteman’s Orchestra in New York for two years and is recognized as one of the greatest trumpeters of the country. Bass solos by Clyde Diddle, a singer of note, were enjoyed as were the violin selections by Roy Lundgren and banjo solos by Jack Hamilton. The gymnasium was prettily decorated and grinning Jack-o’-lanterns looked down upon the dancers. The six-piece orchestra, of which Elmer Nicholson was director, was very popular. The members of this orchestra, with one exception, were former Burbank students. Plans are already under way for the next affair which will be held in February. With the interest and cooperation of every graduate the new Franklin- Burbank Alumni Association is bound to go far and be of great benefit both to the individual members and the Burbank School itself.

Her answer was : “Well, when Mother changed my dress she changed my mind, too.” WITHERING Miss Church was very small, and when her small nephew became in- dignant because she refused to grant one of his requests he said : “Huh ! You think you’re a church. You aren’t big enough. You’re nothing but a common country school house.” Autographs |i Lw- j D -L D I CATION Splendid, Beautiful, and inspiring, rise fsEFORE US, IN THE LAND OF OUR DREAMS, CaSTLES OF THE Heart we build to shelter Our Dreams Come irue.

There are also many new features. One of these is the color of the pa- per AND PRINT, ANOTHER THE TYPE OF PRINT (SURELY YOU HAVE NOTICED TH T IT IS MODERNISTIC), ANOTHER THE MODERNISTIC ART, AND STILL ANOTHER THE LACK OF INDENTATION. All OF THESE THINGS HELPED TO MAKE THIS WIZARD ONE OF THE MOST INTERESTING EVER PUBLISHED. RrTTv fiATTrornw THE YARD The BOYS WERE DONE AN INJUSTICE WHEN ALL OF THE UPPER PART OF THE YARD WAS GIVEN TO THE GIRLS. All OF THE BASKET BALL COURTS ARE ON THE GIRLS GROUND, YET THEY NEVER USE THEM; SO WHY SHOULDN’T THE BOYS? ANOTHER THING IS THAT ONLY ABOUT FIFTEEN OR SIXTEEN GIRLS COME OUT AND PLAY WHEN ABOUT FIFTY BOYS COULD BE HAVING THE TIME OF THEIR LIVES PLAYING BASE- BALL AND BASKET BALL. Since the girls wanted it, why don ' t they make use of it? If they don’t, WHY NOT TURN IT OVER TO THE BOYS OR GIVE THE GIRLS SOME OTHER PART OF THE YARD WHERE THERE ARE NO 3ASKET BALL COURTS? Edward Maki , Gino March ieski H8 The clock waits for no one, it keeps right on ticking. Neither does the CLASS AS a WHOLE IN THEIR DAILY WORK. THEY KEEP RIGHT ON ADVANCING IN THEIR WORK. JUST BECAUSE ONE OR TWO PERSONS ARE BEHIND OR LAZY IS NO SIGN THEY HAVE TO WAIT FOR HIM OR HER. THE TROUBLE WITH THE LAZY ONES IS THAT THEY WAIT UNTIL THE ELEVENTH HOUR TO START WORKING. It IS NOT THE ELEVENTH HOUR YET BUT THE CLOCK IS STILL TICKING AND THE HANDS ARE STILL MOVING NEARER TO THE ELEVENTH HOUR. 1 DO NOT MEAN THE ELEVENTH HOUR OF THE DAY BUT OF THE SCHOOL TERM. If WE WAIT UNTIL THE THIRD PERIOD TO BEGIN TO HUSTLE IT WILL BE TOO LATE. It WOULD BE A QUEER SCHOOL IF EVERYONE WAITED UNTIL THE ELEVENTH HOUR. The best thing to do is to begin to study and work the very first day of school. It would be very hard for the teachers if they had to correct the whole term ' s papers in just the last four or five weeks. So don ' t Grace Vetter H 9 ASSEMBLY ROOM CONVERSATION TO HOLD CONVERSATION IN THE ASSEMBLY ROOM DURING THE ASSEMBLY IS VERY OUT LOUD IT IS GOING TO MAKE A GREAT AMOUNT OF DISTURBANCE.

If ONE GOES TO A MOVIE AND THE PEOPLE BE- HIND AND IN FRONT ARE ALWAYS LAUGHING AND TALKING IT BOTHERS YOU AND TAKES ALL THE JOY OUT OF THE PICTURE, AND SO, FROM NOW ON EVERY STUDENT SHOULD THINK NOT OF HIMSELF ALTOGETHER, BUT OF THOSE IN FRONT AND BEHIND.

Once a long time ago in Africa along the Nile river, there was a peanut crop. For many, many, years the grasshoppers were killing off the pea- nuts. They never dared to fight the full-grown peanuts because they ILL-MANNERED AND BOTHERSOME.

It certainly was a curious sight to see this I ll- matcned ’AIR quarreling WHEREVER THEY WENT. LEONA DIDN’T TRY TO HIDE HER TERRIBLE TEMPER. It SEEMED AS IF SHE WAS PROUD OF IT. Mr. HuTTON HER HUSBAND, A WITHERED OLD MAN, COULDN ' T DO ANYTHING BUT TAKE WHAT WAS COMING TO HIM, USUALLY A LITTLE MORE. We SAW THEM DISAPPEAR DOWN THE ROAD UNTIL THE SMALL WINDOW CUT OFF OUR VIEW, THEN Al TURNED TO ME AND SAID, 1 DON ' T THINK I 1 VE EVER TOLD YOU THIS STORY. IT OCCURRED TO ME AS I SAW LeONA AND HER HUSBAND. Once, about forty years ago, a young man was courting a young and beau- tiful girl. To him she was the sun, moon, and stars. There was another YOUNG MAN WHO LOVF.D THIS GIRL, SO WE MAY SEE THAT SHE HAD DIFFICULTY IN CHOOSING EITHER. One day her father said that she must make her choice. He didn ' t care WHICH ONE SHE married BECAUSE BOTH BOYS HAD GOOD FUTURES BEFORE THEM, ALSO GOOD CHARACTERS, AND BOTH HAD TIDY SUMS PUT AWAY. THE FIRST YOUNG MAN WAS A SHOEMAKER; THE OTHER WAS A WELL NEVER MIND ABOUT HIM. This shoemaker was very serious and thrifty; the other was carefree and MERRY BUT STILL HE COULD KEEP MONEY IN HIS POCKET AND YET SPEND SOME. The day after her father ' s declaration the young woman invited the boys ' over. Both the boys arrived at the same time. T ! ey were dressed in their Sunday suits, wore derbies, had their shoes shined, and even car- ried canes. The young lady ' s father told them that she was in the gar- den in the swing and wanted the soys to GO there. The boys found her swinging under a towering oak tree. The girl wel- comed BOTH SOYS AND ASKED THEM TO MAKE THEMSELVES COMFORTABLE. THEN THE CAREFREE BOY ASKED HER IF HE MIGHT PUSH HER AND HE WAS ASSURED HE MIGHT. He SENT A LOOK OF TRIUMPH TO HIS RIVAL, AND BEGAN TO PUSH THE SWING. Faster and faster, higher and higher the swing swung until at a very HIGH ’0 1 NT ONE OF THE FRAGILE, OLD ROPES PARTED AND THE FAIR LADY TUMBLED THROUGH the AIR AND LANDED ON A PILE OF NEWLY-MOWN HAY. At FIRST THE BOYS TREMBLED WITH FRIGHT, BUT WHEN THEY FOUND HER CAREFULLY LANDED, THEY GAVE WAY TO LAUGHTER. THE CAREFREE BOY DOUBLED UP WITH LAUGHTER AND EXCLAIMED BETWEEN GASPS, ' JUST LIKE A MONKEY ' A HUGE FLYING MONKEY l ' The SHOEMAKER QUIETLY STOPPED HIS LAUGHTER. The CAREFREE LAD PICKED UP HIS DIGNITY AND TRIED TO APOLOGIZE, BUT THE DIGNIFIED GIRL COULD NOT OVERLOOK THE INCIDENT. To MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT, SHE MARRIED THE SHOEMAKER TO SPITE THE ONE ' SHE HAD LEARNED TO LOVE. Finishing, Al said, Thank the Lord, she didn’t marry me. ff WHO WAS she? I INQUIRED CURIOUSLY.

The little squirrels were not afraid But seemed to love the children that played. The lovers walked along to and fro, And turtle doves would coo sweet and low. The lake was all so shiny and clear As IF A MIRROR WAS PUT RIGHT THERE. The swans long graceful necks were curved And acted as if they were to be served. The glorious spring comes but once a year. At that time the world is ever so dear. The 3uds and the beings own a new life, And no one on earth seems to know hard strife. Bernice Flinker L9 ■ ' : r. 0 j C CV h } A Vr V- cT K-- Ao , V v v) V a. SUNSET AT SPRINGTIME A BLANKET OF SOFT AND DEWY NIGHT, Has covered the hills of green. The sun has fallen from its height, And the stars above are seen. The twinkling lights of the town nearby, Are shining one by one. Birds are winging across the sky, To reach home, as day IS DONE. Buttercup has closed her eyes for the night. Her head is drooping low. The roses eyes are closed quite tight, And BREEZES SING sweet and low. There is a stillness over all, People have all gone home. Now and then a whippoorwill ' s call, Clouds are drifting away like foam. Avis Terry H9 NIGHT Trie night was dark and dreary, When I crept in to bed. 1 THOUGHT it WAS 30 SCARY, I NEARLY lost my head. I ’Till mother told me of someone, Who stays right by your side, And n ever, never leaves you, Even after you have died. Do, you know of this person? I ' ll bet you do all right. And I am never scared now, On any scary night. Isabelle Loebs L8 ROBIN ' S RETURN Early one morning there sat at my door A FAT LITTLE ROBIN RETURNING ONCE MORE, Chirping and singing a song of good cheer. The spring once more has come to us here; Early each morning right after I wake Breakfast to robin I am sure to take; Watching and waiting each morning is he, For he knows that I love him as well as can be. Ferril Euranjus L9 CALIFORNIA Oh California lovely and dear, How GLAD I AM THAT I LIVE HERE, With your mountains and trees, And your ocean breeze. California, lovely and dear.

Eleanore Stone L7 The flowers bloom in the spring, The bees go humming around. We welcome the spring time With its happy and joyous sound. When the sun comes up in the morning There’s a few drop in each little flower. The spring-time is like a fairy In a pretty little bower. Edith Frazier, Mildred Longrus 07Q STAMMER IMG If you people who stammer, Would think about the wall That the Chinese used to keep spirits away, Why you wouldn’t stammer at all. Inside the wall is yourself, Outside are low-creeping things that are bad, Flying in are Calmness and Self-Control, And other good things to be had. Going out are Trouble and Fear, Leaving Peace and Self-Control the while, And, you instead or stammering, Will always speak plainly and smile. Edna Loess H8 Scratching your head, chewing your pencil, Meanwhile, locking at a stencil, That ' s getting an idea. Looking at the ceiling, looking at the floor And seeing nothing but the door, That ' s getting an idea. Gazing out the window, looking at the street And seeing nothing but the passing of feet, That ' s getting an idea. Wilbur Cowan H7 A SUNNY DAY The stars grow dim, The night is done, Your spirits soar With the rising sun. The sun shines bright Outside, this day, And how I long, To go out and play. The sun is smiling, Down on me, I FEEL L I KE SHOUT I NG Aloud in glee. The sun outside, Is warm and bright, It will soon be dimmed, By the shades of night. Bertha Perucca H9 Phyllis Huish H9 L9 DESIGN CLASS The L9 class under the direction of Mrs. Most were very busy making wood blocks. The wood blocks were cut from battleship linoleum. The tools WHICH WE HAD TO USE HAD TO BE VERY SHARP, IN ORDER TO CUT ACCURATELY. vVr. PLANNED A GIFT FOR THE SCHOOL. THE GIFT IS A WOOD BLOCK TEXTILE WHICH WILL BE HUNG IN THE HALL ENTRANCE. MlSS LuBERT, WHO IS GRADUATE® from the California School of Arts and Crafts, took charge of the large textile. This all-over design was made up of all the blocks of the class. Each member was represented by at least one repeat of his origi- nal design. We all worked veyy hard to get a good wood block for the large wood block textile. These wood e-jlocks were printed on silk for THE BIG DESIGN. ILL D I SBROW L9 A GIFT FROM THE GRADUATING CLASS The H9 graduating class presented the school with a gift. The gift com- mittee CONSISTED OF MEMBERS OF THE FACULTY AND THE PRESIDENTS OF THE THREE H9 CLASSES, AS WELL AS BOY AND GIRL REPRESENTATIVES, NAMELY, Av I S Terry, Charles Andrae, Ellsworth Straube, Jean O ' Leary, and Paul Koski. The selection of the gift was very difficult, and, after many sugges- tions, WE FINALLY DECIDED ON BEAUTIFYING THE MAIN ENTRANCE HALL OF THE SCHOOL AND AT THE SAME TIME, MAKING IT MORE USEFUL. A UNIT GIFT IS TO BE GIVEN THIS YEAR AND NEXT YEAR, CONSISTING OF THREE PIECES, A CHAIR, TABLE, AND ARTISTIC FLOWER BOWL. THE CHAIR AND BOWL WILL BE GIVEN BY THE JUNE GRADUATING CLASS WITH THE HOPE THAT THE CHRIST- MAS Class will add the table. The ARTISTIC FLOWER BOWL WAS PURCHASED AT THE CALIFORNIA FaIENCE COMPANY. It WAS VERY HARD TO DECIDE WHICH BOWL THE SCHOOL WOULD LIKE. We FINALLY DECIDED ON OH, WAIT ' TILL YOU SEE I T I The H3 class sincerely wishes that the school will like their gift.

No IDLE INUTES FOR THESE MEN, There is oo much to do, They work their shift and t en they go T 0 A HA 3 ' Y HOME WHEN THROUGH. Willis Horton H7 line und Applied ART NOTES The H9 class jn Advertising Art worked o some ♦ery Interesting projects under th direction of Mrs Most. Among them were THE CONSTRUCTION OF PAPER FLOWERS FOR THE H3 OPERETTA, The BeLLS OF BEAU JOLA 1 S , 11 A CHERRY TREE, WITH ITS MANY BLOSSOMS, TO BE USED PLASTICALLY FROM THE BLUE C YOLO RAMA , AND THE MOON HEDGES AND OTHER EFFECTS. We ADVERTISED THE PLAY BY MAKING MANY POSTERS. Another project was designing a room in J MODERN FURNITURE. Th I S WAS ALSO OPEN FOR I COMPETITION, AND MANY VERY INTERESTING DE— |J SIGNS WERE TURNED IN. We PLANNED A SUR- PRISE GIFT TO THE SCHOOL, IN THIS CONNEC- TION, FOR GRADUATION. Our next project was designing a weather vane. This was open to boys only — of the HIGH AND LOW NINE ART GLASSES. Th I S VANE was for Pop’s Inn. It was to be execu- ted IN WROUGHT IRON BY THE H9 BOYS IN Mr, Frick’s shop. Among the best designs THAT WERE TURNED IN WERE THOSE OF! MARTIN Ringbom, Vance Wagner, Charles Amesbury , Alb in Lei no, Silly Disbrow, and George F feeder i cks. Martin Ringbom’s design was CHOSEN, AND WlL GRACE THE PEAK OF OUR new ’’Pop’s Inn.” The LS class in Design worked out modern borders and all-over designs. They de- signed and made a number of effective ORNAMENTAL TREES IN SILVER AND CUT-PAPER THAT WERE USED TO DECORATE THE Alameda County Teachers ' luncheon at the Hotel Oakland. Everything in ART THIS YEAR WAS VERY MODERN — MODERN PRINTING AND MODERN DESIGNS. The WORK WAS MOST INTERESTING AND BEAUTIFUL, Avis Terry H9 LOW SEVENTH ART The low seventh grade pupils have been working on the drawing of objects In perpendicular and angular perspective. Among the thIngs they have ac- complished in drawing so far are: Houses, missions, vases, toys, and automobiles. In design, the first problem studied was an all-over repeat of abstract forms. Later, Miss Cameron let us use over thirty of her Na- ture Magazines from which we have adapted all-over patterns of seetles, birds, insects, fish, flowers, trees, and other things pertaining to nature . The work on figure drawing was adapted in the L7 1 class, to illustrations of descriptive lines from modern poetry. The other classes are doing some interesting illustrations of stories they are reading in connection with library work. This combines a use of lettering which we learned earlier in the term, with figure drawing and figure composition. In the Wizard headings you will see some of the high seventh grade draw- ings. These are included gladly, as the children had no drawings in the Wizard last year. Mary Shanahan L7 THE LOW NINE PLAYWRITING CLUB During this term twenty low nine pupils decided to meet together twice a week after school to write one-act plays. Although most of the group fell by the wayside, eight stayed with the club: Taimi Kurrj, Nova Sharrock, Hilda Sampson, Ruth Colver, Kathleen Hampton, Wilfred Ninnis, James Davis, and William Bottoms. Perhaps five plays were planned and started, but only one reached the curtain fall. This one, a group play, Shoe Tracks by title, was entered in the state-wide contest of the Drama Association and, miraculously received first place, it being the ONLY JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL PLAY CONTRIBUTED. HOWEVER, IN ADDITION, IT RE- CEIVED VERY HONORABLE MENTION. To QUOTE FROM THE COMMITTEE THAT JUDGED THE CONTEST, THE P LAY WAS CONSIDERED GOOD WORK AND POSSESSED CULTURAL AND SPIRITUAL VALUE 1 ' , iN MECHANICAL MAKE-UP IT RANKED ONE OF THE VERY BEST OF THE THIRTY-THREE HIGH SCHOOL PLAYS CONTRIBUTED. Th E COMMITTEE SUGGESTED THAT THE CLUB REVISE IT IN PATCHES |ND HAVE IT PRINTED IN THE magazine Theater and School as an incentive to other junior high SCHOOLS OF the STATE TO TRY THEIR CREATIVE POWERS. UNLESS WE CAN WRITE A BETTER ONE BEFORE THAT TIME, THIS PLAY WILL BE PRESENTED ON THE HIGH NINE PROGRAM OF NEXT TERM. We HOPE TO CONTINUE THE CLUB NEXT YEAR AND ENRICH OUR PRODUCTION BY TAK- ING IN NEW MEMBERS. Frances C. Albee THE BELLS OF 3EAUJ0LA I S The high ninth grade presented this operetta on the evenings of April 18 and 19. The Thursday night cast was the H9 1 class. The Friday night cast, the H9 . The low ninth and high eighth helped with the singing. The scenery and costumes were very attractive. Flower-girls, candy girls and French boys added a beautiful grace to the scenes.

Miss Gilbert is in charge, while Avis Terry, a very talented young PIANIST, ACCOMPANIES US. Every Wednesday we hold our meeting. It is required that we attend faithfully and promptly, as it is JUST as important as any other class. The songs we are now learning are The Water Lily, and The Aspen Tree, BOTH OF WHICH ARE EXCEEDINGLY BEAUTIFUL. We MAY SING THESE SONGS AT SOME IMPORTANT GATHERING SUCH AS THE BURBANK PARENT TEACHER MEETING. We ARE OFTEN INVITED TO TAKE PART IN THE PROGRAMS AT SCHOOL AND WE EX- PECT TO TAKE PART IN THE GRADUATION EXERCISES. Isabelle Loebs L8 THE BOYS 1 GLEE CLUB The Boys ' Glee Club is one of the many entertainers of the school. We STUDY A LARGE VARIETY OF SONGS. At THE BEGINNING OF THE TERM WE STARTED on Climate, which is a very funny little song. Another song is The Dawning Springtime, which we are still studying. The music of this PIECE IS TAKEN FROM THAT FAMOUS SONG, C ' H SOLE MlO. NOW WE ARE GOING to take Trees, by Joyce Kilmer. Our clu 3 is divided into three divisions: First tenor, second tenor, and bass. Miss Steinmetz is the director and pianist of our club. She plays VERY WELL. If you wish to join the Boys ' Glee Club you have to be in the eighth GRADE Or? IN THE NINTH. It IS THE DUTY OF EVERY PUPIL IN THE GlEE CLUB TO COME EVERY WEDNESDAY. If A PUPIL FAILS TO COME, HE PR06A3L Y WILL BE PUT OUT TO GIVE ANOTHER PERSON, WHO IS MORE AMBITIOUS, AN OPPORTUNITY. Wouldn ' t you like to join the Boys ' Glee Club? Russell Doxaras L8 THE BURBANK BAND The Burbank Junior High School has a great advantage because of its band AND ORCHESTRA. The BAND CONSISTS OF ABOUT FIFTY SKILLED PLAYERS UNDER THE LEADERSHIP iVlR . HoBBS. The DUR3ANK STUDENTS APE QUITE PROUD OF HAVING A BAND. THEY ARE ALSO PROUD OF HAVING SUCH A SKILLED TEACHER AS Mr. Hobbs to direct the band. If any other students of 3ur3ank become INTERESTED IN TAK I NG J_ESSONS , Mr . HqSBS IS WILLING TO TEACH THEM. In SOME CASES THE INSTRUMENTS ARE SUPPLIED. The 3urbank Band plays in assemblies given GREAT EVENTS. The BAND, ALSO, FREQUENTLY SIGNS GIVEN IN PLACES AWAY FROM THE SCHOOL ON ACCOUNT OF ITS BAND WORK. THE SURBANK IN THE AUDITORIUM OR FOR IS OBLIGED TO PLAY ON OCCA- . Burbank has won many prizes Band was honored this term by 3r. ING ASKED TO PLAY AT THE BERKELEY H ! QH OCH00L ON ONE OF THE NIGHTS while the Phantasy was performed. We, the Burbank students, are proud to have an honored band under the leadership of Mr. Hobbs. Evelyn Delphi ne H7 ORCHESTRA The orchestra under the direction of Mr. Schott plays very well. The school supplies the boys who are anxious to learn with an instrument. This gives students an opportunity to learn and be in the orchestra. There are about fifty soys in the orchestra. Some of them will grow up to be leaders of an orchestra or play in one. ARE PROUD of OUR ORCHESTRA. Lous ZULAlCA H7 i Burbank School has many shops from which the soys may choose. 7e have THE METAL, MACHINE, ELECTRICITY, WOOD, AND MECHANICAL DRAWING SHOPS. The WOOD SHOP contains about twenty benches, four lathes, a plainer and two electric saws. ! think the boys of Burbank School have every opport- unity TO LEARN SOME TRADE. If THEY DON’T, IT IS. NOT THE FAULT OF THE school. Mr. Williams teaches the wood work, Mr. Willmann mechanical draw ing, while Mr. Frick is the instructor in metal, machine, and electrical SHOPS . James Alexander H8 TYPING AND PRODUCTION Do YOU KNOW THAT THERE IS A LOT OF WORK BEHIND THIS PAGE YOU ARE READING? IF NOT, YOU MIGHT AS WELL KNOW NOW, FOR NINE DIFFERENT TYPING GLASSES D I - reoted by Mrs. Tomsen have been very BUSY TYPING, CUTTING STENCILS, mim- eographing AND MANY OTHER THINGS THAT GO TO BUILD UP THE WIZARD. OTHER CLASSES ARE HELPING ALSO BY DRAWING CARTOONS, MAKING UP JOKES, WRITING STORIES, AND COMPOS I T I ONS (OF WHICH THIS IS ONe), AND MOST OF ALL WE THANK Y-O-U, DEAR READER, FOR BUYING THIS WI2ARD. Ralph Lynch H8 HOUSEHOLD SCIENCE The LS girls have been busy studying meal planning and table service, FOR THEY KNOW THAT FOOD MUST BE SELECTED WITH CONSIDERATION AS TO COST AND AT THE SAME TIME HAVE THE MEALS WELL BALANCED. We started out by cooking and serving breakfasts. We know that when one GOES WITHOUT BREAKFAST A HEADACHE OR LACK of ENERGY IS OFTEN THE RESULT. From the evening meal to breakfast is the longest time between meals, therefore we need some food to make us fit for the day. Those who do a GREAT DEAL OF ACTIVE WORK, ESPECIALLY IN THE OPEN AIR, NEED MORE FOOD FOR BREAKFAST THAN THOSE WHO SIT IN AN OFFICE OR IN A SCHOOL ROOM. A SIMPLE BREAKFAST WHICH WE COOKED AND SERVED WAS AS FOLLOWS l A HALF OF GRAPE FRUIT, Cooked cereal and top milk, Poached egg on toast, Cocoa or chocolate. c Later we started preparing topics on various foodstuffs, also diets for THIN WOMEN, FAT WOMEN, FOR SMALL CHILDREN, AND FOR GROWING JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL BOYS AND GIRLS. THESE TOPICS ARC VERY INTERESTING TO PREPARE. Hilda Sampson L9 AN EXPERIMENT IN HOUSEHOLD ART I HAVE JUST FINISHED A VERY INTERESTING EXPERIMENT. I WAS GIVEN TEN P I ECc_S OF GINGHAM. It WAS OF A GOOD QUALITY, AND COST SIXTY CENTS A YARD. My 03JECT WAS TO WASH EACH PIECE OF GINGHAM FOUR TIMES IN LUKE- WARM WATER • Each PIECE was WASHED WITH a different kind OF SOAP, AND HUNG IN THE SHADE TO DRY. When I had finished washing the materials, I compared them with the orig- inal PIECE TO SEE IF THEY HAD FADED. 1 MADE A BOOK, AND PASTED EACH PIECE OF MATERIAL IN IT, AND WROTE ABOUT IT. Th E WRITING WAS PLACED BE- LOW EACH PI £ .CE OF MATERIAL. I GATHERED ADVERTISEMENTS ABOUT THE DIFFER- ENT SOAPS, THAT | HAD USED, TO SEE IF THEY AGREED WITH MY RESULTS. Th E ADVERT I SEMt.N « S WERE PLACED OPPOSITE THE SAMPLES OF MATERIAL. I FOUND THAT SOME SOAPS CAUSE MATERIALS TO FADE MORE THAN OTHERS, THERE- FORE, IT IS A GOOD PLAN TO AVOID STRONG SOAPS IN WASHING COLORED ’ GOODS . TO ME THIS EXPERIMENT WAS VERY WORTH WHILE, BECAUSE I ACQUIRED A GREAT DEAL OF INFORMATION ABOUT THE DIFFERENT KINDS OF SOAPS. Florence Kroll H9 a A£_RO • CLUB To The Boys and Girls of Bursank School V.- WheN I LEARNED, LAST JANUARY, THAT I WAS TO SPEND A WEEK AS VISITING PRIN- CIPAL AT BURCANN, I WAS VERY MUCH pleased. From !9I6 to 1923 1 was hap- pily ASSOCIATED WITH THE 0URBANK FvEN- i NG School, but for the last half-dozen YEARS MY VISITS TO BURBANK HAVE BEEN few. Therefore, I welcomed the oppor- tunity TO S P END A FEW DAYS IN THE EN- VIRONMENT WHICH RECALLED SO MANY ENJOY- ABLE INCIDENTS. NOT THE LEAST OF MY PLEASANT ANTICIPATIONS WAS THE MEETING AGAIN THAT FINE, EVER-YOUNG GENTLEMAN, Mr, Manuel Loura , who helped me start THE FIRST NIGHT-SCHOOL IN BERKELEY, IN the Franklin Building, away back In 1811. ' (i found Mr, Loura as spry and HANDSOME AS EVER--THOUGH HE DIDN T FEED ME ANY COCOA, AS HE USED TO YEARS AGO.) I COULD WRITE AT CONSIDERABLE LENGTH ON MY FAVORABLE IMPRESSIONS OF THE SURCANK School, but } am asked only to q i ve a FEW WORDS ON SCHOOL SPIRIT. School Spirit is rather difficult to DEFINE. To ME IT IS THAT FEELING OF LOYALTY AND AFFECTION TOWARD A SCHOOL WHICH MAKES ALL BOYS AND GIRLS AND TEACHERS — IN THAT INSTITUTION GIVE TO THE SCHOOL THE VERY BEST THEY HAVE, AND MAKES THEM FEEL THAT THE I R SCHOOL IS P-ITLA ' •LIjBRARV - CAFETERIA the very best school in the world . That to which we give our best, j _ s to us , the best. I ALWAYS FEEL REGRETFUL WHEN I HEAR BOYS OR GIRLS OR TEACHERS CRITICISE UNKINDLY THEIR OWN SCHOOLS. I WONDER, ALWAYS, WHETHER THEY HAVE DONE THEIR PART. Give to the world the best you have And the best will come back to you. That is the idea back of real school spirit. May Burbank continue to grow in the things that make a school worthy of the devotion of all con- nected WITH IT. With best wishes to Burbank, t D. Pr L.

James T. Preston OUR SPIRIT AT BURBANK Luther Burbank gathered together from the four corners of the earth all SORTS OF PLANT LIFE. FROM THESE, HE CREATED NEW FORMS, CHANGED THEIR HABITS, AND ADAPTED THEM TO THEIR NEW CONDITIONS. The spirit of Burbank lives in our school! Our school is a YOU, HUMAN PLANTS, ARE GIVEN AN OPPORTUNITY TO FIND ROOT FOR TO BE NURTURED IN AN ENVIRONMENT SUITED TO YOUR NEEDS. GARDEN WHERE A TIME AND Burbank school believes in the poss i b i l i t i es of your growth. It is trusting you and is counting on you to take that which, for your n-eds is good; fitting that good into your life, and sending it to you will’ SO THAT in the fullness of time, your hopes, your aspirations ano your ideals will blossom-worthy of the thought ANO care g.ven you in thI SCHOOL WHICH BEARS THE NAME WE HONOR — LUTHER BURBANK. Emma S Wilkes THE SCHOOL SPIRIT OF BURBANK Do YOU REMEMBER HOW Mr. BURBANK DEVELOPED THE SHASTA DaISY? He TOOK THE LITTLE FIELD DAISY WHICH IS A WILD FLOWER IN MANY PARTS OF THE COUNTRY, AND DEVELOPED IT INTO THE BEAUTIFUL FLOWER NOW CALLED THE S ' HASTA DaISY. Mr. Burbank was not content to work with the American field daisy but he SELECTED DAISIES FROM FIVE DIFFERENT COUNTRIES COMBINING THEM INTO THE NOW FAMOUS FLOWER. THIS TRANSFORMATION COULD NOT HAVE TAKEN PLACE IF THE GREAT n PLA-NT WlZARD 1 ' HAD NOT HAD A VISION OF THE OUTCOME AND A FAITH IN THE PLANTS. NOR WAS THIS ALL THAT WAS NEEDED — GREAT PATIENCE, COM- BINED WITH SKILL AND A LOVE FOR THE BEAUTIFUL, HELPED TO BRING INTO BE- ING THE NEW FLOWER. HOW FITTING THAT OUR SCHOOL SHOULD BE NAMED AFTER THIS GREAT MAN l BuR- bank School will help to perpetuate his memory. We gather children from MANY NATIONS AND BURBANK FaCULTY PLACES A FAITH IN THEIR PUPILS JUST AS Luther Burbank did in the daisy. This faith has been rewarded by the STEADY GROWTH OF THE SPLENDID SPIRIT FOUND WITHIN OUR SCHOOL. JUST AS THE DAISY NEEDS SOIL AND LIGHT TO GROW, 30 THE SCHOOL SPIRIT REQUIRES THE ELEMENTS OF KINDNESS, COURTESY AND UNSELFISHNESS COMBINED WITH A WILLINGNESS TO WORK TOGETHER FOR THE GOOD OF OUR SCHOOL. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO HELP THIS SPIRIT TO GROW? Luther Burbank was not Interested in creating monstrosities, in the field of Natural Science. His entire life was given over to developing, creating, improving and furthering the plan of natural growth in PLANT LIFE, LEADING TO A BETTER POTATO, A PRETTIER FLOWER AND A LARGER FRUIT. That, in essence, should be the goal we should strive to reach. In OUR GAMES WE TRY TO GIVE EVERYONE AN EQUAL CHANCE. GOOD SPORTSMAN- ship is our Ideal. Crabbing, fault finding, and destructive criticism IS NOT WANTED. A HELPING HAND AND CHEERFUL DISPOSITION ARE TWO CONDI- TIONS NECESSARY TO THE FULLEST DEVELOPMENT OF THE LATENT ABILITIES OF OUR STUDENTS IN PLAY OR STUDY. We MUST NOT DEVELOP MONSTROSITIES EITHER ON THE FIELD OF PLAY OR IN THE FIELD OF ACADEMIC ENDEAVOR, BUT, RATHER, LEAVE THE STUDENTS WITH A SENSE OF PROPORTION THAT WILL LEAD THEM TO A FULLER APPRECIATION OF ACTIVE EN- DEAVOR. Henrietta M. Williams IDEALS OF BURBANK G. C.

The Berkeley Chamber of Commerce offered prizes for the best essays on, m The Nam i ng of Berkeley, In our school, Avis Terry of the high ninth won the first prize, while Allan Nelson of the high eighth won the second. Lucile SpengeR LA T IN THE CArTTETiA The cafeteria is one of Burbank’s best features. Sunlight floods the place giving it a look of healthful cleanliness. There is no need to mention the delicious dishes they have prepared for you, and the quick service. Keep your cafeteria standard up, and it will mean a great deal to you. Christine Robinson H8 H8 1 CLASS IDEAL The H8 ,f 1 class have been trying to improve their class spirit. We have LEARNED THE FOLLOWING POEM AND WE TRY TO DO AS IT SAYS. BE THE BEST If you can’t be the pine on the top of the hill, Be a scrub in the valley — but be The best little scrub by the side of the rill: Be a bush if you can’t be a tree. If you can ' t be a bush, be a bit of the grass, And some highway happier make. If you can’t be a Musk i e”, then just be a bass But the liveliest bass in the lake. We can’t all be captains, some have to be crew. There’s something for all of us here: There’s work to be done, and we’ve all got To do our part in the way that’s sincere. If you can’t be a highway, then just be a trail: If you can’t be the sun, be a star, It isn’t by size that you win or you fail; Be the best of whatever you are.

Burbank school provides for this sport through the courtesy of Mr. Williams, Mr McCaleb , Mr . W i llmann , and Mr . Frick. The swimming club has only gone for two SWIMS BECAUSE THE RICHMOND NATATORIUM has been closed for repairs. ihe price of GOING SWIMMING IS thirty-five ' CENTS. This pays for the gasoline used in go- ing TO AND FROM the NATATORIUM AND PAYS traffic FOR THE PRICE OF ENTERING THE POOL WITH TWO TOWELS AND A SUIT, THE CLUB STARTS FROM SCHOOL AT FOUR-THIRTY O ' CLOCK FROM THE WEST ENTRANCE ON Curtis street. The money left over at the end of the term was used for A BIG BEAN FEED. THIS YEAR MANY BOYS OUGHT TO JOIN THE SWIMMING CLUB.

John Martinson L8 SHINGLE SHACK The Shingle Shack is a club to which aul Burbank girls from the high sev- enth GRAOE TO THE HIGH NINTH MAY BELONG. The CLUB ' S FIRST MEETING PLACE WAS IN A FLAT BUT THERE SOON W ERE TOO MANY GIRLS FOR THE FLAT SO MRS. TELFER BUILT THE PRETTY LITTLE HOUSE AT 1371 HeARST AVENUE AND NAMED it the Shingle Shack, altho it is not at all like a shack but more like a cunning little doll house. The inside of the Shingle Shack is most at- tractively FURNISHED AND INCLUDES a PIANO AND a HOSP I TABLE — LOOK 1 NG FIRE- PLACE, WHERE THE GIRLS MAY SIT AND TELL STORIES OR ' WHERE THEY MAY ROAST MARSHMALLOWS AND APPLES. The purpose of the club is just to have a good time. Miss Balsley, a LOVELY, SWEET WOMAN, WHOM ALL THE GIRLS LIKE, TAKES THEM SWIMMING, SKAT- ING, AND HIKING. The GIRLS ARE ALSO TAUGHT TENNIS. BY MRS. HoDDEL AT Kenney Park and every year a tennis tournament is held. The girls also give Easter egg hunts, Valentine parties, Hallowe ' en parties, and Christ- mas parties. Every year the girls of the Shingle Shack get together and HAVE A BAZAAR AND THE MONEY RECEIVED IS DIVIDED UP AMONG THE DIFFERENT groups. The Shingle Shack girls often bring cheer to some needy family at Christmas time when cheer is most needed. The dues of the club are ONLY TWENTY-FIVE CENTS A TERM AND I ' m SURE THAT EVERY GIRL IN THE Sh I N- gle Shack will agree with me, when I say, that wild horses couldn ' t drag ME AWAY, Virginia Dann L8 THE KODAK CLUB Have you seen members of the Kodak Club dashing around with a kodak in ONE HAND AND a ROLL OF FILMS IN THE OTHER?

REGARDING THE TRAFFIC IN THE SCHOOL HALLS. We HAVE TRAFFIC OFFI- CERS POSTED AT DEFINITE PLACES IN THE HALLS, ESPECIALLY WHERE TURNS ARE MADE, BY THE PUPILS, TO GO INTO A ROOM OR AN ADJOINING HALL. OUR RULES ARE AS FOLLOWS: KEEP TO THE RIGHT; PERSONS WALKING IN THE HALLS ARE TO WALK ONLY TWO ABREAST. RUNNING IN THE HALLS IS STRICTLY FORBIDDEN, AS WELL AS QUARRELING, SHOUTING, OR DISORDERLY CONDUCT. Miss Truman is the Legislative, Judicial and Executive officer of the SCHOOL AS FAR AS THE TRAFFIC RULES ARE CONCERNED. SHE BELIEVES IN CAPI- TAL PUNISHMENT AND JUSTICE WHEN ANY OF THE TRAFFIC LAWS ARE BROKEN Alden Respini H9 THE BUZZ It was February 4, 1929 that history was made at the Burbank School. The High Eight one’s hit upon an idea to publish a newspaper to advertise the Wizard. They made five hundred, but they could easily have sold seven hundred for they ran short and had to limit the number a class could buy. The money they made went or the Wizard fund. The price was one cent a paper. 3ecause of the good work of Mrs. Tomsen and the High Eight one ' s and the English teacher, Miss Brockliss, the paper was a success. G l no March i eski H8 JUNIOR RED CROSS The junior Red Cross Council of Berkeley contributed to the poor food, and clothing came in great quantities and were distrubuted NEEDY BY THE COUNCIL.

Every little thing was characteristic of their country. We are sending two Wizards away this year in return for foreign corre- spondence. One is going to Japan, the other to New Zealand. Samples of work are alCo being prepared to show what may be done by the Junior Red Cross of the Junior high schools. These are for Miss Con- cannon TO 9 E USED IN THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA SUMMER SESSION.

Through these ACTIVITIES THEY HOPE TO CREATE FRIENDSHIP THROUGHOUT THE WORLO. Avis Terry H9 THE BURBANK HIKING CLUB One of the most interesting clubs of the Burbank Junior High School is the Hiking Club, This club, under the managment of Mr, Wjllmann, leaves for Hiking trips five times every semester. The boys enjoy these trips very much and each time there is always an enthusiastic group ready to go. Every one pays his car fare for generally it is necessary to go by train of boat part of the distance. The boys in the club enjoy archery PRACTICE, BASEBALL GAMES, AND HIKING, UNDER THESE CIRCUMSTANCES, I CON- SIDER THIS CLUB THE BEST ONE IN THE SCHOOL. NOT ONLY IS THE ACTUAL WALK- ING ENJOYED BUT ALSO THE BARBECUE n FEEDS n . SOMETIMES THERE ARE STEAKS, WHICH SIZZLE OVER THE COALS; OTHER TIMES THERE ARE BEANS, WHICH SIMMER IN THEIR CANS.

They made A BLUEPRINT OF THElR PLAN. Mr. WlLLlAMS DIRECTED THE BUILDING OF IT. All of the boys in the shop classes worked on it. There were a few that DID QUITE A LOT OF WORK SUCH AS JOHN PaRKER, Ben TURPIN, AND B I LL FaRMER, Pop’s Inn was named after Mr. Preston whom they affectionately call Pop. The Inn is a place for boys where they can buy beans, milk, orange jl ice, candy, Eskimo pies, and other good things. This keeps the boys from go- ing OUT OF THE YARD AND TO THE M ' ' GON AND STORES ACROSS THE STREET. Other schools have inns of this sort and they say ours is the best. One OTHER JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL IS GOING TO DUPLICATE OURS BECAUSE THEY LIKE IT SO MUCH. The classes should have a project like this every year because it is the KIND OF WORK THE BOYS ENJQY DOING .

The game with Willard wai A TIGHT ONE, AND BURBANK CAME OUT VICTORIOUS. O ' JR FORWARDS were especially good, as well as the work of Hazel Getty who WAS WONDERFUL AS a GUARD. THE GAME WITH WILLARD, J • WAS NOT THE ONLY EXCITING GAME FOR THE ONE WITH ED- WE ISON WAS NOT AS DECISIVE AS IT HAS FORMERLY BEEN.

We NOT ONLY ENJOYED THE GAMES ; BUT THE LOVELY PARTIES THAT MRS • MURPHY GAVE FOR THE MEMBERS OF THE TEAMS. We KNOW MORE GIRLS WILL WANT TO TURN OUT FOR BASKETBALL MOW., ' Special mention mu si be given to Martha Hemphill who was one of the out- standing FEATURES OF HE UNLIMITED TEAM- The lineups were as follows.

The Unlimited was surely a great team this year, as they won all but their last game which they lost with a score of 10 to 9. This game was lost to Edison. Burbank, beating both Willard and Garfield before, was very close to the champ i onsh i p , but lost it to Edison. The best players on the Unlimited team were Paradez, Pespini and Viramontes, Respin i being, as Mr.. Carlsen says, the best guard in the Berkeley junior high schools. The following boys were on the team: Straube, Viramontes, C. Larsen, Koskj , Winters, Tampinen, and K a leva.

Now, as I write these very words, A host of things and persons rise And pass, a marching multitude, Before my wondering eyes. They salute me as they pass along, Then softly fade away. These things are drawings and stories and poems, And jokes of every kind. There, my friends I’ve written about This picture in my mind. So, take this good book as a friend In whose heart I know you’ll find A store of many enjoyable times. Very truly, Lila Aho L9 SUNSET When the sun doth shed its glow, On the tired earth below; You can see its mauves and reds As it sinks into its bed. Then the waves of ebbing day, Roll in ripples in their way; Sprinkling their cheery glow around On sea and earth and sky and ground. Far off through ferned dell and glen These lovely colors in one all blend. And with the sky in muddy mire, These hues create a living fire. And then when day is nearly done, These mixed shades fade one by one And go to other countries, where Dwells the silver fox and bear. s Eileen Wilson L9 THE MxSTERY OF THE HE AW FOG This story takes place in the slums of London in a much dreaded hotel. Into this dreaded place many people are dragged as the big London fog covers the city, and for their night ' s lodging, they pay with their lives. The mystery of this place has for long been unsolved. Every night as the clock strikes twelve, the whole side wall of room 16 slides open and a weird bat-like creature appears, and with long dangling arms it grasps its victim and rips him to bits. One night when a detective was late coming to headquar- ters, he was dragged in, and by some mistake was thrown into room 15 instead of 16. When the fatal stroke of twelve came, he was aroused by a curious sliding noise, that of the wall moving. He immediately went out into the hall and peeked through the keyhole, and saw a sight never seen before. He was wise and wrote things down as he saw them, but in his ha.ste to get away, he tripped and that terrible murdering creature grabbed him and added another to its long list of ghastly murders. But the note luckily was found and it turned out to c ontain the clue to the mystery. A noted scientist who was in the district at that time, was called to the rescue. So the next night be brought a dummy with a deadly gas in it that would kill man or beast and which he put in the fatal room instead of himself. Then when the fatal stroke of twelve came that bat-like creature again came to murder, but as it hit savagely at the dummy, the gas was released. It seemed to be dazed for a minute, and it threw itself into a terrible temper but it finally could not withstand the pressure and fell to the floor dead. Now since that evil creature is dead, people are begin- ning to come into the hotel without fear. James Murphy H8 A CATASTROPHE Bobby was a chubby little creature with fair hair and large blue eyes. He had a little playmate, Barbara, next door. One day Bobby ' s mother told aim to go over to play with Barbara. Now, the two cnildrcn usually played amiably enough but they had off days. Tnis was one of them. The disagree- ment occurred when Barbara wished to play house. Bobby raised a howl at tnis, but Barbara just placed a doll in the unwill- ing arms of Bobby. She left the room to get some more parapher- nalia just as a fire engine whizzed by and Bobby jumped and ran to the window, paying no heed to the doll. It had crashed to the floor and to pieces. Barbara, threw herself upon the floor and let out a dismal wail. Bobby turned around suddenly and Barbara said, You aren’t a nice boy. Bah! Bobby howled and ran out of the house. When his mother heard the story she said, You march right to the store, young man, and buy another doll and carry it hone unwrapped, Bobby howled but his mother was firm. When 3oooy reached home again with the doll tucked under his coat, his temper had somewhat subsided. It was really funny when Bobby produced a rubber doll and demonstrated its oowers by dropping it, sit- ting on it, and doing various other droll acts. Although there was much laughter at the time, the doll became a favor- I’m going to school and learn to read And write and spell and play ' Cause I heard pa say Sunday I ' d be a man some day. I ' m going to t ake my reader And study half the night I ' m going to learn not to be dumb But ouick and smart and bright. I ' m going to learn my arithmetic And study all my books ' Cause you can ' t learn your lessons With beauty and good looks. Now take this tip from me, boys And get your lessons if you can Or else you ' ll feel embarrassed When you get to be a man. Irvin Thorogood L9 A SAILOR I wish I were a sailor And sailed the seven seas, I’d have the flag of U. 3. A. Waving in the breeze. I’d sail the great Pacific The Atlantic ocean too. I’d sail a thousand seas or more And never be off the blue. I’d sail around the Horn, And up the Spanish Main, Then I ' d turn my ship around, And sail bach home again. I’d be captain of a ship, With three hundred in my crew We’d sail from port to port, Alw ys on the blue. When I got tired and drowsy, In my bunk I’d go to sleep, Dreaming I was sailing On the briny deep. I’d be like great Magellan, I ' d sail clear ’round the world, All these nice things I can’t do Cause I ' m just a little girl. . .1 Renee Ma 1 1 in gl y L 8 OUR SPEECH CLASS The Berkeley Board of Education is giving each school a new class, which is for soeech correction. For speech disorder which is for puoils who stammer, and for pupils who find themselves excited when they talk, Miss Rice has given this class one paragraph to memorize. The title of this is Aid to Good Soeech. The mind can only hold one strong emotion at a time. Fill the mind with enthusiam, and there will be no room for fear . The class for speech articulation is for those who find it difficult to give the correct pronunci - t ion of words. The last class is for li oread ing. This is for oupils who have in raiment of hearing. Miss Rice is teaching us to talk correctly by • ovinr the tongue correctly, and opening the mouth, thus giving more perfect enunciation. Ravmour Johnson L9 HASTE MAKES WASTE a hurry, you If you try to make anything when you are in are act to saoil it, and then you will have to throw it away. If, for instance, you are making a dress and hurry with it, the stitches are liable to come out and the dress will fall to nieces. You have wasted that material because of haste. Rose Marsicano H9 A DREAM I was just going to sleep one night, Then o beautiful fairy all in liite , Flew through the window beside my bed. Would you like to go to fairy land? she said. Yes , I said full of eagerness and delight, Come, she said, We will go tonight . She lightly flew o v r and touched my head And with her I went f Ivina out of bed. We flew and flew; then we arrived. All the faries were very much surprised To sec a mortal coming into their land. And I was greeted as one of their clan. They out a golden crown on my head, And set me uoon a throne of red. They gave me olent to drink and eat But the things I ate }ut me to sleep. It v a,s a, long time before I awoke And I began to thi k it was a joke; But when I woke up I found myself in bed. 11 It was just a silly area , my mother said. HAWAII In the soft Hawaiian moonlight Among those beauteous Isles, Where Hawaiian girls are waiting ’To welcome you with smiles, To that mystic lane, of sunshine, To the land that knows no sorrow, To the land of sweet contentment, Oh, sail with me tomorrow. In a mighty ocean, Under skies of blue, These enchant ec Islands, Are places for lovers true. On the warm Hawaiian beaches, With the cooing of the dove, Under the shady palm trees, I’d sing my song of love. Stanley Roth L9 HALLOWEEN Ned and Joan were not any too ea.er ' ly welcoming their guests. Grandma had told them she was giving a Halloween p ty for them, and now they had discovered that she was giving a regular old-fashioned party. The old barn was lit by bright lanterns, while cornstalks and pumpkins decorated, it. Joan’s heart gave a little jump when she welcomed Betty-Jane, for she brought back the remembrance of the fancy costume party she had given last year. Grandma dances. An Soon they we parties when first started the party with some old fashioned old piano and grandpa ' s violin furnished the music re playing games which grandmother had played at a girl. To Joan’s and Ned’s surprise, they oisco erea they actually were having a good time, and they were sure the other children were also. At the end of the party the guests crowded around Ned and Joan, exclaiming what a wonder- ful time they had,. Grandma’s face beamed with pleasure. Both children knew that the thanks were not due them, but to dear old grandmother who knew what fun an old fashioned party was. The children felt very guilty for having felt ungrateful ear- lier in the evening, and they vowed to do all they could to show grandmother how much they appreciated the wonderful time she had given them. Elizabeth Irons L9 ON HALLOWEEN I wandered through a haunted house, Where everything was still, I didn’t see the ghosts at all, In that house upon the hill.. But just as I went out the door, I heard a big loud noise, I ran and hid and watched for more, Inside I saw some boys, We’l ' l wait right here, I heard, one say. Those silly girls we’ll scare. I thought I’d turn the joke on them, I was sure they wouldn’t care. So while they crouched behind the door, I dropped my big white sheet, And being careful not to let Show the shoes, on my feet. I went into another room, I went in softly, too, Then rushing madly out on them, I loudly shouted, Boo. They all jumped up; in fright they screamed, But just ran right straight past, Soon I was outside again, I found some girls at last. We quickly clotted all our fun, •nd climloed upon the roof; A chain we dragged across the toe, In windows, shouted, oof. H v e locked the doors and tapped the panes, We hooted horns, and then The boys saw who w e children were, So we let them out again. r ' e wanted to apologise But they w 0 uld not accept, I said, They would have done the same Our apology was kept. The tiger is an animal With yellow stripes and black That run around his tummy And meander o’er his back. The tiger is a feline of The pussy family, A sort of cousin of the cat (Connected distantly.) He is a very cruel beast, His ways are fierce and. grim; And we can never stroke his back, Or cuccle up to him As tigers hunt for men, of course, It ' s natural that men Should hunt for tigers with a gun, And kill them now and then. Ruth Golver L9 Lila Aho L9 CALIFORNIA I’ve sailed the seven seas and the ocean blue, Journeyed to China, Japan, France, and Peru, And through all my years of sailing, When I shoveled coal and went a-whaling, I have never seen a land as beautiful to see, As California, the only state for me. California, the golden state, sunny and bright, The people there are kind from morning to night. There are trees, flowers, animals, and fish, And food which makes a delightful dish. Such is California, the state that is the best. I want California; you can have all the rest. Leo Nicholson L7 FOOT BALL Ring out the bells of Campanile, Swing i’ r ide the Sat her Gate The Golden Bears come home from Troy With Southern scalps and tales of joy And. we would celebrate! They put us on the shorter end And just begrudged a chance, Yet when the mighty tale was told The victor was the Blue and Gold, Come on! We gotta go and dance. n A willing team, n they said, would play The best the nation had;” They felt a little sorry for The size of the prospective score, And now they ' re feeling sad. So ring the Campanile bells And beat the drums of joy! The Bears are home from U. S. C., They clapped the rights of victors Upon the walls of TroyT Richard Whit me r L9 BE HAPPY If the world seems sad and dreary, And your heart is aching too. Just hum a merry tune and don’t Let all the world seem blue. Just take a cheerful skip or two, To chase away the blues. Divert your mind from troubling thoughts, And dream of hap jy ne w s, Just try to find some other soul, Who’s feeling grave and sad. And try with all your utmost will, To make his laughter glad. The world does give its shares of blues, And sadness to one’s life. But when you’re sad, try to be glad, Don’t dream of care or strife. To get your reoort care is quite exciting You wonder if you will get a ’’one” in writing Or maybe you might get a one” in arithmetic You get so nervous you bite your lip. Just before the bell rings for you to go The teacher starts to pass them out. You wonder why she is so slow. You get so nervous you want to shout. Then she calls your name out clear, Then in your heart you begin to fear That you will not get a ’’one” at all. You get so nervous you want to fall. Elizabeth Irons L9 Cecelia Mansonen L8 THE ARRIVAL OF THE GRAF ZEPPELIN It’s here! 11 Everybody from Oakland, Berkeley and all a- round the Eastbay was gazing out over the Golden Gate. There was a tiny speck with a hundred other specks about it. It was the Graf Zeppelin with many airp lanes around it. The Zeppelin was the largest in the world and was on a tour around the Finally it grew larger, and there in the sunlight of the setting sun it blazed — a great huge silver shape. It circled the San Francisco Bay; then it went down the San Francisco pe- ninsula, down and out over the ocean tc Los Angeles. Then it went to the starting point of the trip and landed amid the cheers and cries of hundreds of people. Every individual is influenced by the country in which he lives. The rain, the sunshine, and the topography of the land are bound to influence him. In Greece the situation is some- what the same as in our own California. The peninsula of Greece is a stepping-stone from Asia to Europe. It is placed squarely in the western path of civili- zation. As her coastline has many bays and estua.ries, she has been encouraged to go to sea and trade with the neighborning countries. California’s coastline is not irregular as that of Greece, and so our early settlers were more apt to be con- tented to stay at home. Besides, the heavy rains made the land fertile, and they could raise most of theism necessary foods themselves. California’s mountains a.re all in one area, allowing us extensive plains on which to grow our food pro- ducts. In Greece the rain is scanty and the country is rugged and mountainous, making the land especially hard to till. The Greeks had plenty of work to do and this made them very indus- trious and self-reliant. In Greece the sun shines most of the time and there is only a little chill and rain in the fall and early winter. In California, we have rainfall distributed in about the same way. There are no great rivers in Greece and, as irrigation is needed for many of the fruits we raise in California, such a world. Harold Ballwanz H7 DO ' - WE RESEMBLE THE GREEKS? variety did not grow there, hut the olive and grape were raised hy them as it is by us. The people of Greece were not moody, thinking only of their own souls, but the vivid colored country seemed to re- flect on their character, making them a very pleasant people. They had a deep feeling for this beauty. They had common sense and a clear vision. The big mountains and large seas kept them from being narrow-minded individuals. It gave them broad judgment and a deep curiosity. Their outdoor life, with the help of the sun, and the breezes from the sea, made them a healthy people. If our land exerted influence upon us, we should also have an appreciation of beauty and a love of health, Evelyn Page HO A VIEW In the days of Hiawatha, In the Indian days of old, Of the lakes of tranquil waters, And the roarins: cataract bold. ' — There between the trees are paths, There some red, lost, Indian hunter, Seeks for some lone beast that hath Drawn him from. his wigwam shelter. Far down beneath the glen are seen Little streams of bright blue-green, Opening out beyond the glen, Which serves so nicely as a screen. By the water’s ran id fall, And the woody shores near by, There is heard an old souaw call And her little papoose ' s cry. Then at last when eve has come, The Indians come home one by one, And turning, pointing to the sun, Say their prayers till each is done. Eileen Wilson L9 INDIAN SUMMER Indian Summer! Such a beautiful name and so pleasant when it comes c Indian Summer is like something wished lor . but not granted at first, but which comes as a wonderful surprise after nearly all hope has been given up. Indian Sumner brings those few rare days in the fall when there is wonderful weather: blue skies, a golden sun, birds singing and the late flowers lifting their heads as if to say,. Hello « California’s Indian Summer is so unusual that every one seems to rejoice just for the joy of living. This year it was like a jewel which was in a dull setting. Eleanor Socker K9 DEFEAT No No No No one is beat until he quits; one is through until he stops,, matter how hard failure hits, matter how many times he drops. Failure can slam him and bang him around, And batter him until he is sore But they never can say he is downed While he bobs up again for more. A fellow’s not dead till he dies, Nor beat until no longer he tries. A fellow’s not down till he lies In the dust and refuses to rise. James Kness L9 AN AUTUMN EVENING The sun had descended in the west. As I sat in front of my cabin door. And I listened to the falling leaves, Falling softly along the shore. For the autumn days were here. And summer has completely gone. As summer can’t always last. While time goes fleeting on. I looked out across the mountains Where the trees were all in brown. And. I regretted the lost days. When I would be back in town. I was just here on a vacation. Among the beautiful trees. And I loved to hear the leaves, Falling slowly in the breeze. Curtis Kenney L9 CIRCUS DAY Circus day at last is here, It comes but once in every year. The parade is marching up the street, Just hear the great big drums that beat. The elephants are dressed with colors bright, They surely are a wonderful sight. The horses are of white and black, With beautiful girls upon their backs. The band is first in the line, And the elephants follow right behind. Last of all come the animal cages, Because ' the lions have such rages. They are all bound for the circus grounds, The horses are galloping with furious bounds. Yesi Circus day at last is here, And it comes just once a year. Robert McKenna L9 BURBANK Burbank, Burbank, I will be true. Burbank, Burbank, it’s not hard to do, For when your name is called aloud I surely do feel very proud So I ' ll try to do my very best In every way that you request And make you the biggest and the best.

The Rivoli Theater party] Uniform the Burbank Band is fast oecoming a reality] Much praise was c iven the glee clues and the band for their parts in the program for the evening. The faculty of the school was occupied in enter- taining the city Super intent, ent of Schools, mem- bers of the Boarc of Ecucation, and other distin- guished quests who were making a tour of Berkeley’s schools during the week, at a luncheon. Burbank pupils were given the privilege of seeing Joan of Arc, considered by many one of the great- est of all motion pictures, for only ten cents. Alumni Association Dance. Again it was Uniform the Burbank Band i Field Day. The showing m de this year by the stu- dents proves that Burbank spirit is improving. The marching and posture were highly commended by those who judged, and the fact that so few w ere not in proper gymnasium uni for; is a credit to the school. hope that next year not one student will fail to be in proper uniform.

W ’ I . ft Pi: V ® 0 -, |p Li SEVENTH GRADE ART rrpn seventh grade art the interest iltlj of the class in oersoect ive , and in outdoor sketching has led to an interesting croject. The low seven ones have brought in drawings of homes, fac- tories and other interesting build- ings or landscaoes in the community. The low seven classes then did fairy castles as an activity in col- or study and design. Someone sug- gested that since they were study- ing homes and architecture in the World Geography their second design could be a color and design oroblem based on real buildings from differ- ent ages and countries. The children are making their own choice and writing a reoort on shelter to go with their design. We are doing this in connection with our geograohy. Charlotte Anderson L7 An activity for Book Week was another motivated project. The children made their favorite books ,f come alive 11 by inserting a colored oaste board action drawing of the chief character in the book so that he looked as if he were steeping out of the story. Some of the featured books was a set of books presented by the school to the library. It was our way of intro- ducing them to the children. The classes in Fine Arts, under the direction of Mrs. Most have done various things this term towards haloing the school. The first extra class activity w as a large sign de- signed. and. oaintod on sign painter’s cloth and constructed on a wooden frame three by six feet. This ooster Tas placed on the front lawn to advertise the Alumni dance, given as a bene- fit to uniform the Burbank band. The wall hanging for the main hall, that was designed and blocked by the Design class in the spring of 1929 — TFr as fin- ished and hung, the boys in Mr. Frick’s shoo making the lovely wrought iron rod and chains. A hall table w as designed and is being made by Vernon Ames to finish this unit gift which was begun by the graduating class last year. Ferril Euranius blocked a number of wall hangings for some of the teachers, from the original blocks, and Mrs. Tomsen al- so used them, blocking 1 a large beautiful oiece of orange silk. Half the high ninth class made large costers for the Red Gross contest that was held in Washington D. C., while the re- mainder of the class made the semi-annual costers to advertise the senior clays, ' Vs put out thre sets of oos’oers for November 22, this y ar — the first a large wood block, from which wo blocked a- bout twenty-five posters, announcing the Big Night” November 22; the second were the quarter size c°rds, ordered from the printer’s and giving all details of the ploys and lastly, a third set of posters, those painted by the class in Advertising art, and which were placed in the banks and neighboring schools, The ’Vizard has also kept us very busy this year — inside designs made by Robert Morgans, Martin Ringbom, Billy Most, Louis Sanchez and Frances Soenger, the cover being designed by Charles Amesbury. The low ninth grades made dace cards for the luncheon which was given in honor of the Board of Education and the Superintendent. The auditorium was decorated and tables ar- ranged and decorated very attractively in yellow and green. Ferril Euranius H9 A GIRL’S RESPONSIBILITY IN HER HOME A girl should always do her share of the work in the home such as, washing the dishes, dusting and helping ,T ith the housework. She should keen her room clean and neat. A girl should keen her clothes in order, ' ' hen she buys her dresses she should select them with good taste. She should not soend all her pin money on things she doesn’t need. She should he able to take care of younger children. If the mother does not come home early enough to start the suoper, the girl should be able to do it. She should be on time to meals but if it hap- pens that she can’t be, she should notify the family so as not to cause any worry. She should wash her hair and take her oath regularly without having to be reminded. She must be able to make careful decisions for herself but also she must be willing to take advice. It is her duty to keep we ll. She should brush her teeth and exercise. She should uphold the honor of the family. She must at all times be courteous. Olga Tauchen H9 THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A HOUSE AND A HOME A house is a building with windows and doors. It is va- cant and bare inside. A house can oe made into a home by hav- ing a happy family move into it and live there oecause a home is a olace where a family lives and is happy in the work it is doing. In a home the people all laugh and are marry. A home is very different from a house although they sound nearly the same. In looking at a ulain house one doesn’t get any joy out of it, but when one looks at a healthy happy home one can’t help out long for one too. In turning a house into a home there must be at least three oeoole to do it — a father, a moth- er and at least one child. Some oeoole can make a home with- out children, but most people can’t, for the children are the ones that bring all the laughter and joy into a home. Edith Schroth H9 OUR COOKING CLASSES Girls, don’t you think that in Burbank we have a wonder- ful opoortunity to be able to learn how to cook? I think so. Cooking will help in our future life. I’m sure that girls who know how to cook will not make biscuits as hard as wood, burn toast, or make flat, burned cakes, I believe it would be very embarrassing to have a meal be a failure especially when we. have invited guests. I know that girls who have taken cooking appreciate the help that our cooking teachers have given us. The girls who are taking cooking this year have only one period of cooking every other day and cook at home in order to get more practice. We cook a great many delicious dinners. Our cafeteria is a very good one. It is a very airy and sunny place. Hot meals are served. W e are very glad to see that so many of our children are eating there. I am sure that meals served at school are very wholesome and nourishing. We study the proper diet for growing boys and girls. Fruits, eggs, milk, fresh vegetables, and nuts along with a quart of milk a day, constitute a large part of their dietary. Cakes, pies, fancy deserts, and candy cut down the propor- tion of ash and vitamins and are likely to desturb the diges- tion. For the sake of good teeth and a good complexion they should be ruled out as far as possible. There is not better habit than that of choosing simply prepared foods. The best regulator of appetite is plenty of fresh air and sunshine with long hours of sleep. Regular meals should be insisted upon e- ven if little food is taken. If a girl is underweight more rest should be taken to cut down the energy expenditure ancL.make it balance the food in- This term the wood-shop has not attempted any one large job, but it has had as a goal one first-class piece of work from each boy, either for himself or for someone else. We have made fifty pianos, a very hard piece of work for junior high school pupils. We feel that the little tots of the Day Nursery will have gre t fun with them. The dozen little cup- boards that we made last year were so well liked that it was requested that we make one hundred more this year. Thus the shop is useful to the boys and it also brings much happiness to some of the unfortunate little tots. take Mary Turturice L9 Edwin Reynolds H9 A FAIR AND SQUARE SHOP This term we die some metal work and sent it to the fair; We won so many honors, almost our righteous share, In fact, if truth were known, a first and second orize, Which means that our Society will take no compromise. The boys received their honors, a check apiece 1 tis true With smiles noon their faces that seemed to shine clear To Burbank we’ll be loyal, with We’ll conquer hardships always, through, sturdy hearts and bold, win honors though untold. Elmer Tamcinen H9 TYPEWRITING There are two hundred oupils in Burbank Sch ool who are taking typewriting. Each Friday is the day for timed writing. Each cucil figures his gross words a minute, and then deducts ten words for every error to get net words a minute. JEach student cuts the on his graoh. men t . record of his gross words and his net words Each week’s practice generally shows improve- The Wizard Staff are low and high ninth students who got grades of ones or twos in typewriting. Last June’s Wizard is a book that takes you into a little town. The cover of the magazine with the tree designed on it is where you enter. After you have seated yourself under the shade of the tree, little funny folks appear before you trying to sell their wares. What you see are clever drawings, inter- esting stories, articles about activities of the school, and names of the teachers. The whole book is full of pleasant thoughts only. To be able to make a Wizard there are many processes which it has to go through. First,, all articles must be writ- ten, then corrected. When that is done it is taken to Mrs. Tomsen and she has some of her Wizard staff copy it. After that it must be proof read and if any mistakes are found, it must oe retyped. The next process is to cut a stencil and then it is mimeographed. When that is done all the cages are cut in order and it is sent to the printer, to be bound. June Boulain L9 V n s k- ji l •: V % THE BAND | I The boys of Burbank j are given an opportu- j nity to learn to play i some instrument and if they learn to play t it well, and are in- terested, they may join the band. The leader of the Burbank Band is Mr, Martin Hobbs who gives free lessons to the pupils of Burbank who wish to learn to play. The school furnishes some instruments such f as: trombones, cor- nets, trumpets, French horns, clari- nets, baritones, saxo- phones, raelophones and drums . The Burbank Band played at the Rivoli Theater, Friday the twenty-fifth of Octo- ber. They did this in order to help get enough money to buy new uniforms for the band. We are buying these uniforms so that the band can enter the Junior High School Band contest in San Francisco next term. All the boys in the Burbank Band are an- j h, A J A y 7 ' d A iL v a X ' Ol in ' • 4 r i yj r y i- iV s X Y ry .

The Parent -Teachers ’ Association gave a dance and a Whist Par- ty as well as the Thea- tre Party at the Rivoli, and the Camp Fire girls sold candy in order to raise money enough to buy uniforms for the band. Our motto this year is, Uniform the Band. Reynold Thompson L7 THE BURBANK ORCHESTRA The fine Burbank Orchestra provides a wonderful opportunity for both boys and girls who are anxious to learn music. The or- chestra consists of nine first violins, seven second violins, two cellos, three basses, two pianos, one flute, three clari- nets, two trumpets, one trombone , and two drums, altogether mak- ing thirty two instru- ments, all of which the school furnishes. The orchestra enter- tains the school and at th- same time gives the children a. musical education. The orchestra is at present working on the overture, Italians in Algiers, by 0. Rossini. It is the most difficult number we have ever attempted. There are thirty-two members and it is to be increased to forty by the end of this term. We are very fortunate in hav ing a leader like Mr. Schott for our orchestra. Elsa Schalfke L7 THE GIRLS ' GLEE CLUB The Girls ' Glee Club is one of the activities that Bur- bank should be proud to possess. Miss Gilbert, who is a fine and competent leader for the girls, co-operates heartily with us, so that we all look forward to our Glee days — Monday and Wednesday at the eighth period. The girls in our club number fifty and we hope to encour- age more to come. By giving Miss Gilbert our attention, we learn our songs very quickly and find much pleasure in this line of work. We intend our Glee Club to pro suer and soon be the leading activity in the Burbank School. We were invited to sing before the Berkeley High School Teachers ' Association, November 21, 1929. Our numbers were: Rain Drops by Charles Huerter, Swing Low Sweet Chariot, a negro spiritual, and The Big Brown Bear by Mana Zucca. Eileen Wilson L9 THE 30Y 3 ' GLEE CLUB Our Glee Club, consists of a number of boys, picked from the various classes in our school. We devote our time to glee work in order to make our assembly programs bigger and better. We, the members of the Glee Club, believe that our school should have a Glee Club, that will cooperate with the other activities of the school. On October twenty-fifth our school gave a theater party at the Rivoli Theatre, as a benefit for our band boys. The proceeds of the show went to the school to purchase uniforms for the school band. Our Glee Club was one of the stage attractions. This is only one way in which we have helped our school, and in the future we hope to help it more. The members of the Glee Club are all looking forward to a bigger and better Glee Club in the future. Alfred Johnson L9 THE BURBANK GIRLS’ ASSOCIATION This year the girls of the school have accomplished very much in the line of social activities. The clubs that we have are the Camp Fire, Girls Reserves, Junior Theatre, Swimming, Hiking, and the Stunt Clubs, The members are enjoying their privileges. The girls have chances to make new friends, to meet old friends, to be in plays, and to have games. The girls have elected three yell leaders after interest- ing competition. The chief yell leader is Mildred Forsell. Her assistants are Dorothy O’Leary and Frances Sisterna. This year the girls gave a candy sale to raise funds for the band uniform fund. Most of the girls have shown a solen- did enthusiasm and cooperative spirit. The girls in the cook- ing classes made the candy and other girls packed and sold it at the Parent-Teachers Association dance on September 28. By making the candy, the Girls’ Association was able to turn over fifteen dollars to the band fund. Julia Johanson H9 THE BURBANK BOYS’ ASSOCIATION This year the Boys’ Association of Burbank school has done very much toward, the success and ideals of the school. The boys have shown their cooperation by joining the var- ious clubs, as Hi ”Y”, Boy Scouts, Hiking Club, and Kodak Club. They have also shown their spirit by going out for the various athletic teams and are now enjoying club privileges. Loyal assistance to the Burbank Court has been furnished by the boys who feel that it is an important part of our school. On November 2, the boys had charge of the punch at the Alumni dance and gave the proceeds to the band fund. Next semester the boys are going to organize a rooters ' section, so that our teams will have evidence of the student body’s support. It is hoped that a number of boys will try out for yell leader. I am sure that the entire student body feels that the Boys’ Association has had a big” year and has succeeded in all its undertakings. The Association appreciated the assist- ance and cooperation of Mr. Preston and the Burbank faculty. George Fredericks H9 THE BURBANK COURT The Burbank Court is a wonderful organization worth the respect and co-operation of the students. The court is run just as all municipal traffic courts are operated. The court was started at the beginning of the term under the supervision of Mrs. Golden. Court sessions are held twice a week, Tuesdays and Fridays. At the beginning of the term the cour t calendar was crowded for each session, having ae many as fifteen cases. Now there are only about three cases at each session. All the traffic police in the school have tickets that they give to the law-breakers, summoning them to appear in court session. They are given a fair trial in court and, if guilty, are sentenced to detention after school according to the seriousness of their offense. Some are sent to the Superi- or Court to appear before Mr. Preston, the principal. After receiving sentence, the law-breakers are given reinstatement slips which are to be signed if they wish to be reinstated. Martin Ringbom H9 LIBRARY An increased demand for library books and periodicals has been responsible for the placing of a full time librarian at the service of the students. Burbank School is indeed fortu- nate in having Miss McAllister as librarian. She has the ad- vantage of being a teacher and of having special training in library work. She knows just the book a boy or girl likes to read and if she doesn’t have it she will get it from the main library. The increased numbe-r of books in circulation since August helps to show the appreciation of the Burbank on oils for Miss McAllister’s untiring efforts. The number has increased three thousa nd over that of last year. The Burbank School now has an advantage over the other schools in Berkeley, because of the access to the books and equipment of the West Berkeley Branch Library. In order to accommodate the students in groups, each class has one opportunity to visit the library during the week. Through this plan, an attempt is made to encourage the child to love books, a definite step in self improvement. A Book Reading Contest has been arranged for the first week in December. We wish that we might be able to add the names of the two winning contestants. THE JUNIOR RED CROSS OF BURBANK The Junior Red Cross has done much work in helping to serve, Most of the students have participated in Junior Red Cross activities. The annual membership drive met with great success. Many classes were one hundred per cent. The stu- dents brought toys for the boxes for Guam. The H9 1 girls made a complete wardrobe for a doll. Seven boxes were packed by H7 1 girls and sent to the high school where they were sent on. The H7 ’ made twenty-five birthday cards for the veterans at Livermore. Correspondence is carried on with foreign coun- tries. The Wizard is always used in exchange for port-folios of other lands. Miss Truman and the L9’s made one hundred seventy-five Christmas cards. Picture books were prepared for the children at Arroyo Sanatarium. The cooking classes made jellies for the veterans. The boys made toys for the children of the Day Nursery. Many of the girls have striven to win a swimming banner. Representatives of all the Junior Red Cross councils of northern California met at Hotel Oakland. This was the first Regional Conference in the history of the organization. Our representatives were Andrew Thomsen, secretary, and Elma Tammi, assistant secretary. The most interesting topic discussed was M The Most Outstanding Activity of 1923-9, 1 ’ which was interna- tional correspondence. Another conference is to be held in April . Andrew Thomsen H9 CAMP FIRE Hear Ye l Hear Ye! The Scribe is speaking to large and small. The Vision of Campfire is that of a large, cheerful blaze on the hearth, made up of many tiny flames, doing no harm, but shedding its warmth and harmony to the world. Campfire girls are giving out the ideals of Campfire life --love, peace, harmony, and friendship. What a glorious blaze the one hundred sixty-- five Berkeley flames do make! Come and join our little Burbank fire. We have sixteen flames and meet for Council every Tuesday in the Burbank bungalow,. We go on hikes, v-e swim, we have parties, amid enjoy a good time. Miss Mary Sperry is our guardian, and Miss Streightif is our faculty aJvisor. Campfire officers are: President, Marian Huffman, Vice-President, M. Bieman; Secretary, A Render shot; Treasurer, M. Giorno. Aileen Render shot L9 THE GIRL RESERVES The Girl Reserves of Burbank meet every Thursday, at 3:15 at the Burbank Cottage. We have two advisors, Hiss Andrus s and Kiss Mygrant, and a sponsor, Mrs. Athearn. We call our group S.O.S. It does not mean what you probably think it means. Our meaning of S.O.S. is 11 Scat- terers of Sunshine. We make and do interesting things such as: Cutting lino- leum blocks, making feather purses, preparing for parties, and making useful and lovely things for others. We gave a tea for the new members of the club early in the term and had a short program, followed by refreshments. We also had a costume Halloween party and played Halloween games, giving clever prizes. We are hoping to have more regular members in the future, for we study as well as play and gain knowledge and sincere friendship. Carol Icanberry H8 JUNIOR THEATRE DRAMATIC CLUB The Dramatic Club is a new club which was formed on Sep- tember IS, 1929, for the benefit of the boys and girls who wish to learn about dramatics. Miss Leamen is the director of the club and visits Burbank every Tuesday. The dues are ten dollars per term or fifty cents each week. The Burbank Dramatic Club is to participate in a Christmas play to be given at the Junior Theatre at the Claremont Hotel, on December twenty-first. Although the number that now attends the club is small, we sincerely hope that in the future many more will participate in Burbank 5 s Dramatic Club. Remember it is an experiment and, unless more of us make use of this privilege to join, the club will be unable to continue or grow next term. Please give it your hearty support.’ Winona Harris H8 THE GOLDEN NUGGETS The Golden Nuggets is a Burbank school girls’ club of sixteen members. We meet every Thursday after school in the Mobilized Women’s club rooms. Cooking, sewing, and various handicrafts and art crafts are enjoyed by the girls. In sewing we are ' making a patch-work quilt in a quaint, co- lonial pattern. In cooking we learn both how to cook appetiz- ing and nourishing food and how to serve attractively. On Halloween the members of the club were the guests of Mrs. Strite, our director ' , at a Russian tea, held in the Veterans Memorial building. ' ■, • • The girls are to cook and: serve a five course dinner to their parents on Saturday evening, December seventh. An enjoy- able stunt 11 program will follow. Hilda Sampson H9 KODAK CLUB Science students recently have been prowling about the school grounds with kodaks, as they hunted for pictures with ’’ ' ••good back-grounds. The fun of developing and printing pictures followed. Many rolls of films were developed and some fine prints were made. A new electric printing box has been placed • in tlie ' science room for making pictures. More and better pic- tures can be made. Next spring about seventy-five schoolmates will be taking pictures. . . ‘ Eva Siefken H8 THE SHINGLE SHACK t � • i .

It was life in a miniature society. tVhat is the beauty that clings to us? An .appreciation of the ' • ; best dn life, a feeling for the problems of society, a desire to be -worthy of these two women — Our Friends. Vivien Williamson U.C„ 32 BOY SCOUTS OF BURBANK There are two troops in Burbank, 36 and 37. Troop 36 is for the boys of the ages fourteen, fifteen, and sixteen, and Troop 37 is for the smaller boys. I am a scout and I have had some fine times with my troop. If you like swimming, hiking, camping and other sports, join one of the troops. The scoutmasters we have are fine men. They are Mr. Wyatt and ta. Hamilton of Troop 37, and Mr. Simonds of Troop 36. Most all of you know Mr. McCaleb. He has great interest in both of the troops. Now try to be one of the first new members. You are missing some good times if you do not join. Robert Wolgast H8 THE GIRLS ' SWIMMING CLUB The swims of last term were responded to so eagerly by the girls that it was Voided to continue them this term. We are indebted to the following teachers who took us to the Rich- mond pool: Mr. Williams, Mrs. Smith, Mrs, Murphy, Mrs. Shim- mings, Mrs. Stewart, Mrs. Golden, Miss Albee, Mr. McDermont, Miiss Martin, Mr. Wolfenden, Mir, McCaleb, Mr. Frick, and Mrs . Athearn. They certainly deserve a note of thanks from the girls for helping to make the swimming club a big success. Sixty g irls received beginner ' s buttons and ten received swimmer ' s buttons. The last swim of the term was held October 15. After tne swim the girls returned to the school for a de- licious and appetizing bean feed prepared by Mrs. Bordner. Everything on the menu received full justice and a good time was had by all. Virginia Darin H8 BOYS ' SWIMMING CLUB Last year the boys paid thirty-five cents a swim, while this year they paid one dollar and sixty cents for the term. There are ten boys in the club and all attend regularly which makes it real fun. In the past one and a half years, a number of boys have become real good swimmers. No other group nas more fun than the Swimming Club or have as good a bean feed as Mr. Williams group; if you don ' t believe it, join tne club and find out. Pasqual Zula ica L7 BOYS’ HIKING CLUB The hikes that were given this term were very successful. The hikes were taken to Sausalito and to the Berkeley Hills. The boys were supervisee by Mr, Willmann. He oroved to be a capable leader. Now we will give someone else a try. The one who win take care of the hikes next year will be Ray Campbell. All the hikes will be on this side of the bay. The boys ho.are interested will file their names the first of next term. This club will not only go out for hiking but for shimming and other activities. Ray Campbell L9 GIRLS ' GAMES The girls’ games are not played wholly because the girls wish to ' ’beat 11 the other teams. They do it for the sake of sportsmanship. The girls have had many little practice games in the gymnasium and other girls have been pleased to be able to be present at these games. Volley ball is a cleancut girls ' game and is an interesting and exciting game as well. There are three yell leaders that are present at every game and add pep” to the contest. The yell leaders are: Dorothy O’Leary, Frances Sisterna, and Mildred Forsell. There are also two as- sistant yell leaders, Lorraine Armstrong and Aili Salo. The Burbank team forfeited the victory to the Garfield team but won two games against Willard. They also met with defeat a- gainst Edison. However Burbank showed a smiling face. The volley ball girls are expected to live up to the high- est ideals Qf Burbank for the orivilege of representing our school in athletics. Jane Case H8 SOCCER Baseball has gone out of season so we are now playing soc- cer. The L7 plyed a game for beginners but are out of the race because they were beaten by the H7 and L8.

John Conti H7 THE FOOTBALL PLAYER This is a man from the Golden Bears, In punting the hall few men compare ; The suit he wears is blue and gold, The look he has is stern and bold. He enters the football game with punch, And cheers are heard from the ,rand stand bunch; The ball is kicked, tackled and f guarded-- If The coach whispers to him, You must win; play harder, n The touchdowns are made, and the e ame is won; Our padded warrior hears the oraise, Well done. The score at the finish was very much theirs — ' It was 21 to 0 for the Golden Bear si James Kness L9 c AN C r l -« 9.5 SOCCER Scaparro, Tony The H8 played the L9 and the H9 soccer for championship. The H8 clayed the L9 the first game. This was on a windy day and the two teams were battling to win the first game. The H8 were going against the wind for the first half. After the first half the score was nothing to nothing and w e changed s ides. The captain of the H8 team said to his men, 11 Now we are going with the wind and only fifteen minutes to play, so let’s winl The H8 team kicked four goals and the first score was 4 to 0 and 2 to 1. The H8 team won the championship. The members of this team are: Leonardo Zulaica, Gregory Luna, Robert Muscaeini, Clarence Medes, Joseph Piazza, Walter Lindstrom, Eddie Rornley, Luis Viramontes, Frank Geraci, and Fred Sampson.

They won the interclass games and this gave them the privilege of representing the school in the inter-school games. Although they did not win any of the games played with Garfield, Edison, and Willard, they certainly showed the n old. fighting spirit, There were only eight boys who tried out for the team and this sho ,,r s a sad lack of school spirit. Garfield had enough boys to make two teams. The Burbank team consisted of the following boys: Ruben Anderson, captain, Francis Read, John Pyle, Robert Pyle, Robert Scott, Wilford Ninnis, Andrew Thomsen, George Fredricks, and Donald Sheers. Andrew Thomsen H9 ALUMNI If the ’’‘’Wizard” were one of the type we read of in fairy highly tales, who could find out anything by drawing a circle, throw- ing dust in the air, and muttering some unintelligible jargon, the editors could tell you of the interesting things our alum- ni are doing.
